Where to obtain records
Charles County Treasury Division
Maryland SDAT official local tax-collector directoryContact the office for delinquent property tax records. This guide does not confirm an online search or current bill list.
How to find the information
Maryland’s collector directory identifies the Charles County Treasury Division at 200 Baltimore Street, La Plata, with PO Box 2607 for mail. It lists 301-645-0686 for tax-sale questions and 301-645-0685 for the Treasury office. Ask for the existing unpaid real-estate ledger, the requested dated sale publication and certificate/redemption records.
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.
