How it works
Property taxes in Frederick County are estimated using the assessed value determined by the state and a combined local property tax rate. The combined rate represents the total of applicable county, municipal, and special district taxes based on the property’s location.
Examples
If two properties have the same assessed value but are located in different municipalities or districts, their estimated property tax may differ because the combined local property tax rate is not the same everywhere within the county.
Limitations and important notes
