University of Maryland: Can a non-owner-occupied rental automatically use the county’s residential semiannual tax-payment option?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Source record dated

DIRECT ANSWER

This is the county's published payment eligibility rule, not an assurance about a particular assessment or bill. The distinct business-property option requires a commercial use code and annual property taxes not exceeding$100, 000; verify the actual bill and current tax-year instructions.

No. The county says residential semiannual payment is for owner-occupied property whose bill indicates Principal Residence. Otherwise the bill is due in full by September 30 unless a separate qualifying commercial-property option applies.
