The law behind this sale
| What is sold | The collector sells the property and delivers the purchaser a certificate of sale, which is presumptive evidence of the purchaser's title; an actual deed comes only after a court forecloses the right of redemption and the balance is paid in full. Md. Code, Tax-Prop. §§ 14-808(a)(1), 14-820(a), 14-823, read 2026-08-30 |
|---|---|
| Redemption period | The owner may redeem at any time until the right of redemption is finally foreclosed. The certificate holder may first file to foreclose 6 months after the sale (9 months for owner-occupied residential property), and the certificate is void if no foreclosure is filed within 2 years of its date. Md. Code, Tax-Prop. §§ 14-827, 14-833(a), (c), read 2026-08-30 |
| Redemption interest / premium | The statutory redemption rate is 6% a year, and § 14-820(b) provides for Talbot County a rate of 6% a year or as fixed by a law of the County Council; for owner-occupied residential property the rate may not exceed 10% a year. Md. Code, Tax-Prop. § 14-820(a)–(c), read 2026-08-30 |
| Statutory sale timing | No statewide sale date exists: the statute directs the collector to sell at the time required by local law, and a late sale remains valid. Md. Code, Tax-Prop. § 14-808(a)(1)–(2), read 2026-08-30 |

Total across all buyers shown here: 156 certificates. 8 of these buyers are individuals rather than companies; they are named as winning bidders and counted, and no contact or registry detail is published for them.
