How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Maryland
Maryland is a tax-lien-certificate state. When property taxes go unpaid, the county (or Baltimore City) auctions a certificate of sale on the delinquent property. The certificate buyer holds a lien and earns redemption interest set by the county — commonly in the range of 6% to 18% per year. There is no single statewide rate; each jurisdiction sets its own (for example, Anne Arundel at 18% / 1.5% per month, Baltimore County at 12%, and St. Mary's at 6%). After a short statutory waiting period, the certificate holder may file a Circuit Court action to foreclose the owner's right of redemption and obtain a deed, but most liens redeem before that stage. Sales are held annually, on dates set per county and clustered from spring into early summer. Because interest rates, high-bid premiums, and void dates are set at the county level, Maryland must be researched county by county.
Bidding & Auctions
Maryland certificate auctions are held online through platforms such as RealAuction (many counties) and BidBaltimore (Baltimore City). Properties go to the highest bidder above the lien amount. Many jurisdictions — including Montgomery and Frederick — apply a "high-bid premium" on the amount bid above the lien. The redemption interest rate is fixed by each county and is not bid down. Registration ahead of the sale is required, and sale dates are set individually — for example, Montgomery County holds its sale on the second Monday of June, and Baltimore City typically sells in mid-May. Confirm each county's specific interest rate and accrual method (daily vs. monthly) before bidding.
Redemption & Penalties
The owner may redeem at any time until the court forecloses the right of redemption. The certificate holder cannot sue to foreclose immediately: under Tax-Property §14-833 the statewide waiting period is at least 6 months after sale for most property and at least 9 months for owner-occupied residential property, with shorter windows (as little as 60 days, or immediate) for abandoned or code-noncompliant property. To redeem, the owner pays the amount at sale plus interest and certain expenses. If the owner does not redeem during the ensuing litigation, the holder obtains a deed. A certificate not acted upon generally becomes void after about 2 years.
See Md. Code, Tax-Property Article, Title 14, Subtitle 8. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

What interest does a Maryland tax certificate earn?▾
It varies by county. Redemption interest is set locally, ranging roughly 6% to 18% per year — for example, Anne Arundel at 18% (1.5% per month), Baltimore County at 12%, and St. Mary's at 6%. Always confirm the specific county's rate and whether it accrues daily or monthly.
How long before I can foreclose in Maryland?▾
Under Tax-Property §14-833, at least 6 months after the sale for most property and at least 9 months for owner-occupied residential property. Abandoned or code-noncompliant property can be as short as 60 days or immediate. These waiting periods are set statewide, not per county.
What is a high-bid premium?▾
In many Maryland jurisdictions, such as Montgomery and Frederick, bidders pay a "high-bid premium" on the amount bid above the lien. Properties go to the highest bidder above the lien amount; the redemption interest rate itself is fixed by county and is not bid down.
Can a Maryland tax certificate expire?▾
Yes. A certificate the holder never acts on generally becomes void after about 2 years. If you miss the foreclosure deadline, the lien can be voided, so track your certificate's timeline in the county where you bought it.
