As we move into spring and summer, the various Maryland counties and the City of Baltimore are preparing to hold their annual tax sales.  The tax sales are an important tool for local governments, who rely on the income from the sale of the tax liens to fund their operations. Tax liens can also be very beneficial for investors, who are paid between 6% and 22% (the interest rate varies by County) interest on their lien amount.

Beginning in the spring, the tax offices begin to publish their lists of properties to be sold at tax sale, as well the terms of the sale and the purchase requirements.  Anyone interested in participating in the tax sale must first register with the county’s tax office. Each taxing jurisdiction has its individual registration requirements, so investors should be sure that their registration is properly filed or they may be disqualified from participating.
