Queen Anne's County holds a tax lien certificate sale — not a tax deed sale. Investors purchase lien certificates on delinquent properties but do not receive the deed. The certificate holder earns interest, and the owner can redeem by paying the full amount plus accrued interest within the redemption period. If unredeemed, the lienholder can initiate foreclosure to acquire the property.
Maryland allows up to 20% annual interest on tax lien certificates. At auction, investors bid the rate downward from 20%. High-demand properties may sell at lower rates while less desirable properties typically sell near the full 20% statutory maximum. The rate is locked in at purchase and applies throughout the redemption period.

Maryland tax lien certificates carry a statutory redemption period of 6 months to 2 years depending on property type. During this window, the original owner can reclaim the property by paying the lienholder the purchase price plus interest. Owner-occupied residential properties typically carry a 6-month minimum. If unredeemed after the period expires, the certificate holder may file to foreclose the right of redemption.
