Maryland foreclosures go through the Circuit Court.

Lenders must send a notice of intent at least 45 days before filing, the sale is advertised at least 15 days ahead, a judge ratifies it afterward, and there is no right to buy the home back. In Prince George’s County, owners who sell before the sale date usually keep more choices.

What changed recently: Since January 1, 2026 (HB 59), Maryland tax collectors must keep owner-occupied homes out of the tax sale when less than $1,000 is owed, and redemption interest on owner-occupied homes is capped at 10% a year. The changes apply to tax sale certificates issued from that date on.

Maryland foreclosure sales are run by substitute trustees and auctioneers, and the circuit court must ratify each sale. Tax sales are run separately by the county.

Settle on an exit before you purchase. A flip depends on a low purchase price and strong resale, while a rental needs rent that covers the loan, taxes, insurance, repairs, and vacancy. Off-market leads create the margin in both cases.
