Got questions about your property tax bill? You're not alone — and this episode has answers. Host Doria Fleisher is joined by a powerhouse panel: Bob Yeager, Director of Maryland's State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT); Eric Jackson, Charles County's Chief of Treasury; and co-host Jake Dyer, Director of Fiscal and Administrative Services.

Together, they break down everything you need to know about how your property gets assessed, why your tax bill looks the way it does, and — most importantly — how you can save money. From homestead tax credits and senior exemptions to veteran benefits and 100% disability waivers, there are resources available that many residents don't even know exist.

They also tackle what happens if you're struggling to pay your bill, walk through the tax sale process, and explain the layers of protection in place to help homeowners keep their property. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or a longtime Charles County resident, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to take action.
