How it works
In Maryland, real property is assessed at fair market value by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value by the applicable tax rate. Baltimore City publishes a uniform real property tax rate expressed per $100 of assessed value. This calculator applies the official city rate to a user-provided assessed value to estimate the city portion of property tax.
Examples
If a property has an assessed value of 250,000 and the city real property tax rate is 2.248 per $100 of assessed value, the estimated city property tax would be calculated by multiplying the assessed value by 0.02248. In this example, the estimated city portion would be 5,620. This estimate reflects only the Baltimore City rate.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator estimates only the Baltimore City real property tax portion. Property tax bills may also include a State of Maryland rate and other charges. Exemptions, credits, and eligibility-based programs may reduce taxable value or tax liability. This tool does not perform parcel-level lookup and does not replicate an official tax bill.
