The County has returned and closed in the deepest drainage ditches along Warfield Road. If resdents along Warfield Road are not satisfied, please contact your Board of Directors. We continue to pursue improvements to the drainage work done along Carroll Drive and along Stuart Road leading to the Beach Access. The County continues to slowly work on the Phase II improvements along Carvel Lane and Ridgely Drive.

Construction on Phase I of the Drainage Project occurred during October, November and December of 2008. Residents along Warfield, Stuart and Kings Roads raised concerns about the ditches and drainage structures installed at our November 13, 2008, General Membership Meeting. The Board contacted the Anne Arundel County DPW with the concerns of the Community on November 30, 2008. We received this response dated January 22, 2009, recently.

The Board plans to contact the County DPW again to respond to the recent letter. Please check back here for an update on the status. The County has provided no new information on Phase II of the drainage project (basically the drainage for the northern part of Carvel Lane). If you have any questions or additional concerns about the Drainage Projects, please contact Patrick Schmitt at: pschmitt@saunderspoint.org

At the request of residents of Saunders Point, the Saunders Point Citizens Association has filed an application to participate in the MD. Dept. of Agriculture’s Mosquito Control Program for 2009. Check back here for an update on the status of the Mosquito Surveillance and Control program for 2009.

If you own residential property in the State of Maryland as your principal residence, you’re entitled to the Homestead Tax Credit. The credit saves you money because it limits the amount of your property tax assessment—lowering your property taxes.

To be eligible, your home must be your principal residence and not a vacation or rental property, which wouldn't qualify for the credit.

In past years, it’s likely that you’ve already received the credit. Beginning this year, you’ll now need to file a one-time application before April 1 of the year of your assessment to continue to receive the credit. If you’re a property owner not currently receiving the credit, you should also apply now in the event that you become eligible in the future.

To apply:

Visit www.dat.state.md.us to submit your application online directly to Maryland’s Department of Assessments and Taxation, or fill out and return the application that was mailed to you with your assessment notice.
