One of the central parts of the EMPOWER PRINCE GEORGE’S AGENDA’S Tax Relief platform is a 5-year 20% per year property tax credit for residents aged 65 and older, who’ve owned their home for the past 10 years (the home must be $500,000 in value or less). Our seniors built this County. It’s time for us to give back to them!

My colleagues and I have proposed this in legislation called CB-29-2022. The legislation is going to public hearing and possible passage at a County Council public hearing on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 10AM.

If you would like to testify or submit written public comment for the June 28th hearing, you may do so by signing up here. Those interested in testifying must sign up by Monday, June 27th at 3:00 PM. If you’re unable to make the hearing, but would still like to send us a message of support for this proposal, you may send a letter or e-mail to the Clerk of the Council at clerkofthecouncil@co.pg.md.us.

As you can see, we aren’t waiting to make the EMPOWER PRINCE GEORGE’S AGENDA a reality! Don’t forget to vote for this agenda when you get your ballot by voting for Mel Franklin and Calvin Hawkins for re-election as your County Council Members At-Large.
