Annapolis Cost of Living & Taxes

The overall cost of living is higher than the state and national averages. This is primarily due to the extremely high cost of homes and housing. Grocery and utility costs are also slightly above average, although health care and transportation costs are below average.

Maryland is considered moderately tax friendly to retirees. Social Security benefits are exempt from income tax, while IRAs and other retirement savings accounts are fully taxed. Pensions are also taxed, but there is an deduction available for residents who are 65+. Property taxes are close to average, however because of the high cost of homes and housing this can be a significant expense. Maryland does have a homestead tax credit that puts a 10% limit on the annual increase of assessed value, and the credit reduces the tax burden by the amount that exceeds 10%. The state sales tax is 6%.
