In Maryland, the homestead exemption applies to real property, including your home, condominium, or co-op. You must own and occupy the property in order to protect it.

Location Importance: Climate, soil quality, and water availability are crucial for successful homesteading. Choose a location that supports your agricultural goals. Popular States: Tennessee, Idaho, Texas, and Missouri are favored for their supportive policies, natural resources, and homesteading communities.

The standard homestead deduction is either 60% of your property's assessed value or a maximum of $45,000, whichever is less. The supplemental homestead deduction is based on the assessed value of your property and equals: 35% of the assessed value of a property that is less than $600,000.
