Date Issued:12/1/2005
Revision Date: 

Section 14-512(f)(5) of the Tax-Property Article requires that the Maryland Tax Court must hear and determine all appeals within 120 days from the date the appeal is entered. The Court may grant an extension of the 120 day timeframe at the request of either party to the appeal. The Court may grant the requested extension if it deems the request to be valid. All requests for extension will be handled through the Department’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG).

For commercial real property cases, MTC normally sets a date for the pretrial and for the trial soon after the case has been filed. A request for an extension of the trial date should be sent to the OAG as soon as the conflict is recognized with an indication that the request has been approved by the Supervisor.
