Talbot County Department of Finance
Official local property-tax records and tax-sale guidanceHow to find the information
The county Property Owners guide directs bill access to MUNIS self-service and distinguishes a tax-sale lien from purchase of the real property. The Finance office is at 11 North Washington Street, Suite 9, Easton. Request the existing unpaid collection ledger or dated certificate/redemption record through that office; a bill alone may not include all later sale costs.
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.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Talbot County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”
Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
