How Maryland handles these. A property that draws no private bid at the tax sale is bought in by the county (Md. Code, Tax–Property §14-824). The county may later sell and assign that certificate of sale, or foreclose and sell the property itself (§14-825). The statute sets no price and no procedure for the assignment, so each county decides whether and how it sells them; ask the county's tax sale office.

The full Maryland rules for county-held property, with the statute citations, are on the Maryland over-the-counter page. See also this county's tax-sale overview.
