Both the County and the State offer a variety of real property tax credits.
The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), in partnership with the Maryland Department of Aging (MDoA), are undertaking a project, Accessible Homes for Seniors, to promote accessibility related improvements to the homes of seniors. Home improvements such as these represent for many older people the key to remaining in their home and maintaining their independence.
These improvements may include:
The program provides zero percent interest, deferred loans for a term of 30 years to finance accessibility improvements. The program is funded by DHCD under the Maryland Housing Rehabilitation Program (MHRP) and is administered by Special Loan Programs. The program is marketed through the local Area Agencies on Aging.
The household income cannot exceed 80% of the Statewide or Washington DC MSA median. If the senior resides in the home of a relative, eligibility is based on the owner’s income.
Funds may be used to pay for the actual costs of making the house accessible or functional for the resident. This may include but is not limited to:
Additions to accommodate 1st floor bathrooms and laundry rooms will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The maximum loan amount will be up to 85% of the value of the property taking into account any superior mortgages. The loans will be offered for terms of up to 30 years and must be repaid upon sale, transfer or refinance of the property. All closing costs will be included in the loan.
Applications are available at the Frederick County Senior Services Division. Assistance in completing the application is available at the agency or an in-home appointment can be scheduled. Once the application is submitted, it will be processed by DHCD and the applicant will be contacted.
