Maryland property tax depends a lot on where you live. I am on the shore and i am about 30 minutes to the bay, 30 minutes to the beach and about 40 minutes to US13 in delmar. It's roughly 3 hours to Cecil and 3.5 to MIR from here.

Taxes are relatively cheap there compared to Pa. And the roads really stink here.

I don't hear that very often about the state of Maryland!
State income tax, plus county income tax; total approximately 7.5%
Sales tax 6.0% with 9.0% on beer, wine, alcohol.
Property taxes just depend on where you compare it to.

I lived in Annapolis, MD from 1983 to 1997. Nice place. Traffic going east on the summer weekends toward the beaches is bad at the Chesapeake Bay bridge.
And property values (cost) and taxes anywhere near Annapolis are going to be high. For example, current price of the house I lived in 1995 is $470,000 on 0.4 acres, and property tax $4,500/year. 567 Woodberry

How is US31?
Is it a good track?
Trying to locate where I can get some decent property and pay under $1700.00 a year in taxes.

Its all a matter of perspective. Funny to hear people say taxes are high in MD or DE. I live in New York, i pay 13,000 in property taxes on a small 150 x 50 lot with a 1200sq foot house. ….However I tow 192 miles each way to Cecil county since it has such a great monthly program.

Have you looked through this to see what counties have the highest average house prices and tax rates? https://smartasset.com/taxes/maryland-property-tax-calculator ==> "Welcome to Maryland!"

Oh, wait, I don't live there any longer.

One thought. When I lived in southern Maryland, 40 minutes from MIR, some regular racers lived in VA just over the border on US301.
King George VA, Dahlgren VA, etc. One guy was no farther from MIR then I was. But I lived in Lexington Park MD, which is out on the peninsula (Chesapeake Bay). Since there is no where to cross the Bay from there, everything is far away. You need to drive almost an hour to start a trip to Cecil, etc.
Should be much less expensive land in King George county VA. Do you need a job, retired, etc.?

There is a small 1/8 mile track in Colonial Beach, VA too. (see map)
And Virginia Motorsports Park (Dinwiddie, VA) is only about 2 hrs from Dahlgren.
Richmond dragway about the same. Summer Duck track etc.

I live near the northern part of the eastern shore of md. About 1 hour from Cecil County dragway. Taxes here are about $2200 a year IIRC. Some areas are even cheaper in taxes. Parts of delaware are just as close with even cheaper taxes

Unfortunately the closer you go to Cecil County dragway the farther you get from the ocean. I don`t know if you spoke of US13 dragway. It is about 30- 35 minutes to Georgetown De. We stop at that track when we go to Ocean City MD.
