Leaf Collection Schedule:

The Department of Public Works will start picking up leaves throughout the Town, starting on Thursday, November 1, 2018. To make the process easy going for everyone please keep in mind these tips:

Rake leaves to the curb or driveway. DO NOT RAKE LEAVES INTO THE STREET.Pile leaves away from cars and storm drains. The leaf vacuum cannot reach around cars. Keep your leaves free of any trash, bottles, rocks, or branches.

Piles of leaves with trash will not be picked up. It can damage the equipment, cause delays and may cause an injury to personnel operating the machine.

Noise and dust may be noticeable; dry conditions generate more dust.

We apologize for any inconvenience.If the leaves are wet and heavy on the scheduled pickup day, they will not be picked up until dry conditions return.

There Will Be No Leaf Collection when The Town Hall Is Closed.

Our leaves are taken to ECO-City farms to be used as compost.

El Departamento de Obras Públicas comenzara a recoger hojas el jueves 1 de novembre de 2018 .

Para hacer que este proceso sea llevadero para todos, le recordamos estas medidas:

Acumule las hojas en la acera o la calzada. NO LAS DEJE EN LA CALLE.

Acumule las hojas lejos de los autos y de los desagües pluviales. La aspiradora de hojas no puede alcanzar al rededor de los autos.

Mantén su monto de hojas libre de basura, botellas, piedras o palos grandes.

Las acumulaciones de hojas con basura no serán recogidas. Puede dañar el equipo, provocar retrasos y puede lesionar a los operarios de la maquina.

El ruido y el polvo pueden ser notables. Las condiciones secas generan más polvo.

Si el día de recolección programado las hojas están húmedas y pesadas, no van a ser recogidas hasta que estén secas.

Cuando la alcaldía está cerrado no Habrá Recolección de hojas.

TAX RELIEF PROGRAMS FOR HOMEOWNERS:

Homestead Tax Credit: After the first full tax year of ownership, the Homestead Tax Credit limits the annual increase in taxable assessment on owner-occupied residential properties to a fixed percentage. The State taxable assessment increase is limited to 10%. For FY2018, the County taxable assessment increase is limited to 1%. If the assessed value decreases, the Homestead Tax Credit will also decrease. To qualify for this credit, you must submit an application to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. For more information, please refer to the State’s website at www.dat.maryland. gov and type Homestead Tax Credit in the Search Bar or call 1-866-650-8783

HOMEOWNERS TAX CREDIT

A property tax credit is available to all residential homeowners who have a combined household income up to $60,000 and net assets that do not exceed $200,000. Net assets exclude the value of your home(s) and the value of your qualified retirement plan(s). To qualify for this credit, each year you must submit an application to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation by September 1st. For more information, please refer to the State’s website at www.dat.maryland.gov and type Homeowners Tax Credit in the Search Bar or call 1-800-944- 7403.

VETERANS EXEMPTION

Veterans who have been certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as com- pletely and permanently disabled are eligible for a full exemption of real property taxes on a single residential property owned and occupied by thecertified veteran (or a surviving spouse). The property owner must submit a one-time application for this exemption to the State for approval. (The owner will be exempt from all taxes but will still owe all fees such as solid waste charges.) For more information, please refer to the State’s website at www.dat. maryland.gov and type Veterans Exemption in the Search Bar.

MUNICIPAL TAX RATE DIFFERENTIAL

Prince George’s County levies a separate tax rate, referred to as the “municipal tax rate differential,” that applies to property located within a particular Incorporated Municipality. This differential reduces the County’s property tax revenues to recognize governmental services and programs that municipal governments perform instead of similar County services to the extent that such services are funded through property tax revenues.
