Thinking about selling your Maryland land? Tell us where it is and what you know about it. We’ll review the details, and you can decide whether an offer fits your plans.
Start with the details you have. You don’t need every answer to reach out.
Start here: Find your county below, gather the land ID or tax bill you have, and tell us about your plans. You can reach out with the details you know.
You can ask questions before deciding what to do.
Share the location, acres and when you’d like to sell. Mention any loan, unpaid taxes or shared owners.
We look at the information you send. If we need more to review the land, we’ll ask. You can ask how any proposed offer works.
Read the written price, costs, dates and conditions. If you choose to move ahead, confirm the next steps with the people handling the closing.
Choose the area where the land sits, even if you live somewhere else.
Start with Maryland's official property search guide. It explains how to open the state's search and choose the county where the land sits. You can search by address, street name, account ID or map reference. An owner's name alone won't work in this search.
An assessment notice is the state's notice of the value used for property taxes. Look above your name and address for the property account number. Keep that number with the county name. Copy each part as shown, including zeros at the start.
The number format differs in Anne Arundel County and Baltimore City. The state guide shows what to enter for each. Use those instructions rather than squeezing the number into the format for another county.
Try the street name without words like North or Avenue. You can also leave off the house number to see more matches. Compare each result with the acres and location on your own papers. Land without a street address may be easier to find by its account ID.
Still stuck, or can't open the search? Contact the SDAT assessment office for your county. SDAT means the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. Ask for help matching your land to its record.
The assessment site doesn't provide copies of tax bills. Ask the county or town that bills you for the current tax amount. Share the land record and any unanswered questions when you tell us about selling.

You don’t need a perfect file to start. A clear note is more useful than a guess that sounds certain.
For example: “I own about five acres in this county. I have the tax bill, but I haven’t found a survey. I’d like to compare offers before deciding.”
