Howard County Executive Allan H. Kittleman has proposed a bill that would expand a tax credit to help residents who are adapting their homes to “age in place.” The expansion of the preexisting Livable Homes Tax Credit is in response to recommendations from the county’s Commission on Aging.

In the meantime, Kittleman has been in talks with Howard County State Senator Gail Bates to reduce the required amount of time lived in Howard County for the Aging in Place tax credit — from 40 years to 25 years — which would allow many more long-time residents to take advantage of this tax credit.

This discussion is ongoing, while the county waits for the state to approve the change.
