What’s local to Denton
There are no programs run by Denton or by Caroline County. A Denton buyer uses Maryland statewide and federal programs, which are the ones listed above.
The closest city that runs its own program is Annapolis, about 36 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Caroline County at $88,800 for a four-person household. 17 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for Maryland →
