Historic District Tax Break Encouraged for Frederick County
A five year tax credit helps owners in Frederick City Burkittsville and New Market restore historic homes. Law enacted after the 1973 Maryland General Assembly requires owner initiative and certification by a county assessor. Changes must be approved by the historic commission, with phased tax relief making repairs affordable and boosting community preservation efforts.
