Maryland County Program to Include National Green Building Standard | |
| Homes built in Anne Arundel County that conform to the Code Council's National Green Building Standard will now be eligible for property tax credits. The County Council passed a bill that expands the program already in place for green homes. Under the law passed in 2010, homes conforming to the U.S. Green Building Council's standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design are eligible for county property tax credits. The amount of the tax credit depends on how green the house is, per LEED standards, and homeowners could earn up to $15,000 in property tax credits. The new legislation allows homes certified under the separate National Green Building Standard to get the credits, as well. | ||
