The County made the decision to forego a tax sale last year, exercising an option permitted by State Law. Instead, the County chose to inform citizens who were struggling to pay their taxes that they could participate in a payment plan. Citizens were also informed them of the homeowner's tax credit which is a potential option for tax relief. A large number of taxpayers did not know about these options to pay their taxes in partial payments or of the tax credits offered by State Department of Assessments and Taxation. By working with citizens, instead of sending their properties to tax sale, the County was able to bring in outstanding revenue while saving citizens the cost of the auction advertising and legal fees.
By State Law, the County must have a tax sale every two years at minimum. For the 2017 Tax Sale, the County chose to advertise in The Daily Record which fulfilled the obligation of the State Code. By making a change in advertising this tax sale, taxpayers were saved approximately $60,000 both this year and last. The properties for sale can also be found on the County's website atwww.wicomicocounty.org

I want all on this site and all who ran their mouth this couldn't happen, to remember this article like it is the back of your hand!!!! You do know what a Tax sale is right? It is where the govt, this case the county can sell your house, GET THAT, SELL YOUR HOUSE wither you paid it off or not, becasue of delinquent property tax or get this, a delinquent water or sewer bill!!!!!
902 guess the rule of thought would be DON"T BE DELINQUENT and find a way to pay your bills!
IF YOU CAN'T figure out a way for help!
IF YOU CAN'T ask for help!
IF YOU CAN'T explore other personal options!
IF YOU CAN'T then its time to figure out how you CAN!!!!

Taxes on prperty that is paid off is a travesty..you own your home you shouldnt have to pay the goverment for it anymore.The state of md takes too much already in income.
