The Honorable Sheila E. Hixson
Ways and Means Committee
Room 131, House Office Building
Annapolis, MD 21401-1912
Dear Delegate Hixson:
HB6 would require a contract for the sale of real property to contain a notice that the new owner of property, transferred after January 1 and before the beginning of the next taxable year, may submit a written appeal as to a value or classification of the property on or before 60 days after the transfer.
The Legislative Committee of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce supports this bill. This bill would expand the rights of new homeowners and help to mitigate the impact that an obsolete tax assessment can have on a home purchase.
We therefore ask that your committee give this bill a favorable report.
Sincerely,
Richard Haddad
President
CC: Senator Larry E. Haines
