How Tax Sales Operate in Maryland
Under Md. Code, Tax-Prop. § 14-808, delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Lien and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via RealAuction / Bid4Assets or in person by the County Finance Office / Tax Collector. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (Over-The-Counter Assignment of County Certificates)
In Maryland, unsold properties or tax lien certificates become available as Over-The-Counter Assignment of County Certificates. Buyers can purchase these parcels directly over-the-counter without attending an open outcry auction.
