TL;DR

The Baltimore City Budget & Appropriations Committee held a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to establish an installment payment plan program for residential property owners with overdue property taxes. The program would allow eligible homeowners to pay tax arrearages through installments rather than facing immediate collection action, with specific terms and eligibility requirements to be set by the Director of Finance.
