What Baltimore County sellers
should know
-
Expect a 1.5% county transfer tax
Baltimore County charges a transfer tax of 1.5% of the purchase price, with the first $22,000 of a residential transfer excluded, and a separate charge of $2.50 per $500 of value. Ask your settlement company to show it on your estimated net sheet so the figure holds no surprises.

Look up your home on the county floodplain map
The county's floodplains are tidal, along the bay and its tidal rivers, or riverine, along streams. Mortgage lenders must require flood insurance in the mapped special flood hazard areas. The interactive floodplain map shows your lot, and the Storm Drainage and Floodplains Management Section at 410-887-3711 can help read it.
-
A county repair loan is repaid when you sell
The county's housing rehabilitation loans help income-eligible owners fix heat, electrical, plumbing, safety and lead paint problems. The debt must be repaid when the owner stops living there or sells. If you used one, ask the Housing Rehabilitation Program for a payoff figure early.

Pick your path and your closing date
Behind on payments? In Maryland, your lender must send a notice of intent to foreclose at least 45 days before filing, and owner-occupants can ask for foreclosure mediation. There is often more time than it feels like.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Baltimore County?
When a cash sale is the right fit, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Listing with an agent usually takes longer: Baltimore County homes have recently sold in about 34 days, plus time to close.
What is the property tax in Baltimore County?
Baltimore County's real property tax rate is $1.10 per $100 of assessed value, and the county limits assessment-driven increases on a principal residence to four percent a year. When you sell, the county also charges a 1.5% transfer tax on the price above the first $22,000 for a residential sale, and your contract says who pays it.
Do you buy homes near the water or in a floodplain?
We'll look at any Baltimore County home, including one near the Bay or in a mapped floodplain. The county's interactive floodplain map shows FEMA flood zones, where lenders must require flood insurance, and its Storm Drainage and Floodplains Management Section (410-887-3711) can help read the maps. Tell us what you know and we'll show you both options.
