How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Maryland
How it works. County/Baltimore City tax-lien certificate sale followed by Circuit Court action to foreclose right of redemption
Excess sale money. After foreclosure and payment of the balance, Tax-Property §14-818 requires any amount above taxes, interest, penalties, and costs of sale to be paid to the person entitled to it; each county must provide a claim process, and the collector must notify the prior owner within 90 days after deed delivery. §14-819 governs unknown/unlocated claimants, 3-year special-fund holding, court-ordered forfeiture, and a later 7-year repayment window.
These rules are set by Maryland, not by Crumpton, so this section is the same for every place in the state. Last verified 2026-09-25. See the full Maryland entry with statute links.
