Public Notice - Intake Sheet

Our office no longer uses or accepts the “State of Maryland Instrument Intake Sheet."  A new intake sheet must be submitted with every document that is submitted to our office for processing.  In addition, the Transfer and Recordation Tax Unit will be following new policies and procedures regarding deeds that are conveying multiple properties.

If a deed is conveying multiple properties, for example, a condominium and a parking space or a property and a “descriptive” lot, then all of the properties must be clearly identified in the deed and on the intake sheet. Furthermore, if the properties have their own unique parcel numbers (block and lot), a lien sheet must be obtained for each and every parcel number. By law, all liens must be satisfied prior to transfer. If a deed has been recorded and subsequently it is found that a parcel was erroneously omitted because it was not clearly identified and/or a lien sheet was not obtained, then the omitted property will not be transferred until the responsible party (i.e. title company, attorney, or whoever handled the settlement) obtains a lien sheet and pays all open liens.

Notice to Secured Creditors

Parties with security interests in personal property for which the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore has a lien should direct any notices pursuant Tax-Property §14-805 to "Chief, Bureau of Revenue Collections, 200 Holliday St. Rm. 7, Baltimore, MD 21202."
