St. Mary's County, Md. Approves Tax Credit for Sprinklers
8/11/2008 - The Board of County Commissioners for St. Mary's County in Maryland adopted an ordinance in November 2007 requiring the installation of residential "fire protection sprinklers" in all new one- and two-family residential units served by "public water." The County Commissioners approved an ordinance on Aug. 5 allowing for a property tax credit for those not required to install residential "fire protection sprinklers." Citizens voluntarily retrofitting their existing homes or voluntarily installing a sprinkler system in a new home are eligible for a one-time property tax credit, per the August 5 ordinance.
