This is a series about filing an appeal for your property tax assessment. The information is generally good for all of Prince George's County, but the data available is specific for Cheverly (below).

Here is the data to find your comparable sales. Part 1 of this series will give you an idea of how to use this data, but if you are confused or want further advice, call the Department of Assessments. They are very helpful and really want your assessment to be right!

To find out if you are protected by the Homestead Tax Credit, go to http://sdat.dat.maryland.gov/RealProperty/Pages/default.aspx and scroll to the bottom. You do not qualify if the house is not your principle residence. If you want to see if the credit was applied on your current bill, go to http://taxinquiry.princegeorgescountymd.gov/

The Excel spreadsheet with all MLS sales in 2023:

NOTE - this is a sortable spreadsheet. Click on the arrow next to any column and select "ascending" or "descending" - whichever way you want to sort it.

EVEN BIGGER NOTE AND CAVEATS- the condition notations are my own opinion. You or SDAT may have a different opinion - it's a starting place, not definitive. There are sales that didn't go through the MLS. These are usually private sales and not considered "Arms Length" but you may wish to look them up.

• 2024 Cheverly Assessment appeal Microsoft Excel - excludes distressed sales like foreclosures and short sales.

  • 4-Renovated - renovated relatively close to going on the market

  • 3-More Updated - on a sliding scale these homes are more updated than not. For instance, the upper levels may have updated kitchen and baths, but older roof and windows, and not updated basement. These also include homes that were renovated previously but not necessarily recently.

  • 2-Less Updated - again, on a sliding scale, these homes are more on the NOT updated side, even though there may be updated elements.

Live MLS link to public records and sales - good source for more info.
