How Maryland tax sales work

Sale Type
Tax Lien Certificate
Maryland sells tax lien certificates. The investor pays the delinquent taxes and receives a certificate that earns the interest or penalty set by state law. If the owner does not redeem, the holder must take the further steps state law sets to get the deed.
Redemption Period
Until a court judgment
Counties sell tax sale certificates at an annual auction (Md. Tax-Property 14-808 et seq.). The owner can redeem until a court forecloses the right of redemption, so there is no fixed end date (14-827). You can file to foreclose 6 months after the sale, or 9 months for an owner-occupied home, and only after sending two required notices; you must file within 2 years or the certificate is void (14-820, 14-833).
No fixed end date: redemption lasts until the court's foreclosure judgment. The earliest you can file is 6 months after the sale (9 months for an owner-occupied home).
Avg Property Tax Rate
1.09%
Near the national average (1.1%).
Homestead Rules

Words used on this page

Redemption period
A window after the sale when the old owner can pay up and take the property back.
Homestead exemption
A tax break on an owner's main home. It changes what the minimum bid includes.
Tax lien
The county sells the unpaid tax debt, not the property. You collect interest, or later foreclose.

Before you bid in Maryland

What can survive the sale and become yours

  • IRS federal tax liens
  • City water/sewer liens

Other things to check

  • Maryland sells tax sale certificates at annual county auctions, and counties sell leftover certificates by assignment.
  • Interest is 6% a year unless the county sets its own rate (Anne Arundel charges 18%), and never more than 10% on an owner-occupied home (14-820).
  • Many counties add a high-bid premium when you bid well above the lien (14-817).
  • You foreclose in circuit court, not at a second sale, and you must pay the later taxes before the deed is issued.
  • Baltimore City has a high volume of sales.

How we rate these

Every listing says one of four things. Next to it is how many facts we hold for it, and what that much evidence is good enough for.

Worth a look
We hold the four basics (what is being sold, when, for how much, and what the property is) and nothing we hold argues against it. A claim about our record, not a promise about the property.
Needs review
We hold the basics, but a named finding wants a human first: a possible lien under the owner's name, a flood or environmental record, no mapped public road, a property check that fired, an opening bid at or above the value we hold for the parcel, or a sale the county reports as postponed.
Screened out
We hold positive evidence of a problem: recorded debt or an IRS lien that survives the sale, a lot too small to be a real parcel, a sale the county reports as over, or a sale date already past. The card names it.
Not enough data yet
One of the four basics is missing. This is not a bad rating: missing data can never produce a negative verdict.
N of 12 facts on file
How many of the 12 facts we track for this parcel we actually hold: sale kind, auction date, entry price, property class, value, lot size, living area, legal description, road access, title search, condition, sale terms. The same count on the board, the deal page and in Flexy. Hover the bar on any card to see which are still missing.

One number cannot say both how good a parcel looks and how much we actually know about it, and a low number reads as a verdict. So we do not print one. “Not enough data yet” is not a judgement about the property.

Maryland tax sale FAQ

Maryland is a tax lien state. Counties sell tax sale certificates at an annual auction (Md. Tax-Property 14-808 et seq.). The owner can redeem until a court forecloses the right of redemption, so there is no fixed end date (14-827). You can file to foreclose 6 months after the sale, or 9 months for an owner-occupied home, and only after sending two required notices; you must file within 2 years or the certificate is void (14-820, 14-833).

Maryland has no fixed redemption period. The owner can redeem until a court forecloses the right. The holder can file to foreclose 6 months after the sale (9 months for an owner-occupied home) after two required notices, and must file within 2 years or the certificate is void (Md. Tax-Property 14-820, 14-827, 14-833).

Key risks include: IRS federal tax liens, City water/sewer liens. Maryland sells tax sale certificates at annual county auctions, and counties sell leftover certificates by assignment. Interest is 6% a year unless the county sets its own rate (Anne Arundel charges 18%), and never more than 10% on an owner-occupied home (14-820). Many counties add a high-bid premium when you bid well above the lien (14-817). You foreclose in circuit court, not at a second sale, and you must pay the later taxes before the deed is issued. Baltimore City has a high volume of sales.

Opening bids vary widely by county and property. Maryland has an average property tax rate of 1.09%, which influences opening bid amounts. DeedFlex shows the opening bid for every listed property. Where we hold a market value we can stand behind, we show it; where we do not, we say so rather than print a number we cannot support.
