Counties across Maryland have issued the triennial assessment notices for commercial real estate. Average values (in 2024) have spiked by 23.4% since the last cyclical (2021) assessment. This profound assessment growth includes increases of 25.6% for multifamily properties and 17.6% for all other commercial real estate.
Property tax bills are issued in July or August each year by Maryland’s 23 counties, Baltimore City, and the 155 incorporated municipalities. In-cycle appeals (for these new triennial assessments) are due 45 days from the reassessment notice, with notices usually mailed in late December. As such, in-cycle appeal deadlines typically fall in early February. Out-of-cycle appeals (for the remaining years of the assessment cycle) are due December 31 of the year preceding the value year. Additionally, new owners who purchased properties from January 1 through June 30 are afforded an additional appeal opportunity within 60 days of “close,” regardless of where it is in its cycle.
