Maryland’s County Income Taxes July 16, 2008 Joseph Bishop-Henchman Joseph Bishop-Henchman Our recent report on local income and wage taxes notes that all 23 Maryland counties impose an income tax on residents, but does not break them out. Based on a few requests, we do so here. A side note: Nonresidents are not subject to the county income tax, but must pay to the state an amount equivalent to the lowest county tax rate (currently 1.25% – Maryland residents should thank Worcester County for keeping this low!). Here are the local income taxes by county: Table 1Maryland County Income Taxes County County Income Tax Rate (for Residents) Allegany 2.93% Anne Arundel 2.56% Baltimore County 2.83% Baltimore City 3.05% Calvert 2.80% Caroline 2.63% Carroll 3.05% Cecil 2.80% Charles 2.90% Dorchester 2.62% Frederick 2.96% Garrett 2.65% Harford 3.06% Howard 3.20% Kent 2.85% Montgomery 3.20% Prince George’s 3.10% Queen Anne’s 2.85% St. Mary’s 3.00% Somerset 3.15% Talbot 2.25% Washington 2.80% Wicomico 3.10% Worcester 1.25% Source: Tax Foundation, CCH, Maryland Comptroller office.
