Where to obtain records

Wicomico County Department of Finance

How to find the information

The county Tax Sale Information page separates Excess Funds, the newspaper banner and an Over the Counter List. Its advertising-stage instructions exclude partial payments and personal/electronic checks, with an additional card restriction near the sale. Request the existing unpaid ledger or a dated certificate/redemption amount through Finance; ordinary online payment options may not apply during the sale process.

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 Wicomico 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.

County-specific notes

The 2026 sale and over-the-counter calendar describes dated activity, not a continuously updated unpaid roll.

No taxpayer criteria, account creation, CAPTCHA completion, record-request submission, bidder enrollment or payment was performed. No owner-list attachments or taxpayer rows are reproduced.
