Important application timing
The linked county application lists November 10, 2025–February 27, 2026, with possible extension. That date has passed. A current extension or new round has not been confirmed here; do not include this grant in a project budget until the County approves a reservation.
ERC eligibility is determined by the County’s address boundaries, not a neighborhood name alone. We can help review the address and current program requirements. County and state awards have separate rules; combining benefits requires approval.
County property-tax credits.
Prince George’s County
Up to $5,000
For eligible purchased systems: the lesser of 50% of eligible cost or the applicable $5,000 cap; hot-water-only systems have a $1,500 cap. Eligible leases/PPAs have a separate $1,000 cap. These are County property-tax credits, not immediate cash rebates. Availability and waiting periods require County confirmation.
Anne Arundel County
Up to $2,500
A one-time credit against qualifying residential County building taxes: the lesser of $2,500 or 50% of eligible materials and installation cost after specified grants/credits. The application normally must be filed by June 1 before the tax year requested. Confirm available tax liability and documentation.
County credits are not statewide awards. Location, deadlines, eligible costs, tax liability, annual funding and waiting lists affect the benefit. Do not subtract a delayed credit from the amount you need to pay at installation.
Value after installation.
