Escalated and Excessive Property Tax on Greatly Devalued Homes In Prince Georges County

This message is for ALL Homeowners in P.G. County whose homes have been foreclosed and ALL Home Owners whose Mortgages are Upside down and under water.

Why is this important?

I am petitioning against the many homes and properties in P.G. County that have been foreclosed and have also incurred very high property tax. This situation has resulted in many home owners' mortgages becoming upside down. Our homes have been devalued more than half, however; we continue to incurr very high property tax that is not equivalent to the low assessed value that has been assessed by our Tax Assessment Office in
Annapolis. Why should people care about this issue? Why will people signing the petition make a difference? People should be concerned about this issue because it is bringing about an awareness of the very high taxes that have been assessed to our homes, and once added to our monthly mortgages has resulted in home owners not being able to meet their monthly mortgage obligations. This result later leads to foreclosure. If the home owners sign the petition and present these concerns at the state level, the state Senator and the state house will have to decrease our property taxes so they will be equivalent to the assigned assessed value. Mortgages will become affordable and save homes. We need an enormous amount of signatures in order to receive positive action in lowering the property tax in the state of Maryland, and especially P.G. County. Senator Hoyer has an opportunity to save our homes in the State of Maryland and put an end to these outrageous property taxes that have burdened and inundated our homeowners in the state of Maryland. We are summoning Senator Hoyer to stand up for the home owners in the state of Maryland and seal the American Dream for All Home Qwners in the state of Maryland.
