Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Anne Arundel County Office of Finance / Tax Sale Division
Official local property-tax records and tax-sale guidanceHow to find the information
The county links 2026 Remaining Liens and 2026 Tax Sale Results separately from older results. For a redemption balance, its instructions direct callers to the Tax Sale Division at 410-222-1735. It distinguishes lien sale from transfer of the real property and includes other county charges such as water/wastewater in sale coverage. Request the existing collection ledger or dated certificate/redemption amount according to the stage.
For existing records, provide the account/parcel identifier, tax or fiscal year and desired as-of date. Specify an ordinary unpaid collection ledger, dated tax-sale advertisement, certificate history or a current redemption quote. Ask whether municipal bills, utilities, special assessments, penalties, interest, later taxes and certificate-holder costs are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges before ordering. SDAT ownership/assessment data, a payment receipt and an old sale list do not certify the complete current amount due.
