## Baltimore City context

Baltimore is an independent city, so every property here runs through the same city offices. Maryland foreclosure is a court-supervised power of sale: the lender's trustee files an order to docket with the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, but the auction does not wait on a judge's order, so timelines move faster than in purely judicial states. Estate matters run through the city's Register of Wills and the Orphans' Court. Separately, the city tax sale bundles delinquent property taxes, water bills, and other municipal charges into certificates sold each spring, and vacant building notices follow the property. Baltimore's ground rent system adds one more title check on many rowhouses. InTym Properties pulls the city records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is city-level too. Maryland charges a 0.5% state transfer tax and Baltimore City adds 1.5%, a combined 2% of consideration customarily split between buyer and seller, plus a city recordation tax on top. Every deed transfer also needs a city lien certificate showing all municipal charges are paid. The city page below carries the median price, days on market, and trend for Baltimore.

The city records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the Maryland SDAT business registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the city's land records, and a licensed Maryland title company can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### How does foreclosure work in Baltimore City?

Maryland foreclosure is a court-supervised power of sale. The trustee files with the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, but the auction does not wait on a judge's order, so timelines move faster than in purely judicial states. You can sell any time before the sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the process.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Baltimore City?

Maryland charges a 0.5% state transfer tax and the city adds 1.5%, a combined 2% customarily split between buyer and seller, plus recordation tax and a required lien certificate. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is in an estate, or headed to tax sale. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. Estates close when the Register of Wills issues letters and the Orphans' Court clears any disputes. Tax-sale certificates and city liens are paid off at closing; the written offer shows the payoff math line by line.

### How fast can you close in Baltimore City?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. The lien certificate and title work set the legal minimum; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
