The 2.25% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Baltimore and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Maryland average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Baltimore buyers. Many Baltimore properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $100/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
