BALTIMORE CITY HISTORIC TAX CREDIT
Buyer receives substantial savings on monthly property taxes.

The Baltimore City Historic Tax Credit freezes the assessed value (assessed by the City) of the property for ten years. This assessed value is the basis which the City uses to create the homeowners annual tax bill. If the property you are purchasing qualifies, Schultz Development will transfer this credit to you at settlement. Many new City residents are getting an unpleasant surprise as the City reassesses the newly rehabbed property that they just purchased.

The Following is a sample of potential savings from a past sale:
