For the 2025 tax year, the filing deadline for Maryland Personal Property Returns is expected to follow the standard schedule used in most previous years. Unless unexpected circumstances arise, businesses should plan to meet the traditional deadline of April 15, 2025.
Maryland requires most business entities—including corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships—to file an Annual Report and Personal Property Tax Return with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) each year. For 2025, the due date remains April 15, consistent with the long-established schedule.
Businesses must submit either:
These forms can be filed online through the Maryland Business Express portal or mailed to SDAT.
As in previous years, businesses may request a 60-day extension if they are unable to file by the April 15 deadline. The extension, if approved, moves the due date to June 16, 2025. Extension requests must be submitted online on or before April 15. Paper extension requests are not accepted.
In 2024, the State of Maryland issued a special extension, pushing the deadline to June 17 due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. That exception was based on a statewide emergency and is not expected to repeat in 2025. Unless the state issues a new directive due to unforeseen events, the standard April 15 deadline will apply.
The 2025 deadline for filing Personal Property Returns in Maryland does not differ from prior years, except for the temporary change seen in 2024. Business owners should continue to follow the standard filing process and timeline, ensuring that all necessary documents are submitted on or before April 15, or that an extension is requested by that date.
