Incorporated places with their own local government. A place that crosses a county line is listed in each county it touches and marked “partly”; its page shows figures for the whole place.

Census-designated places in St. Mary's County (9)

Unincorporated communities that the Census Bureau defines for statistics. They have no city government of their own.

Recognized by the Census Bureau, but no property tax figure published (1)

These places appear in the Census Bureau’s list of places and governmental units in St. Mary's County, but its 2019–2023 survey publishes no median property tax bill for them (usually because too few households were sampled). They are listed here so that no place is overlooked. The county figures above are the closest available estimate.

Other named communities in St. Mary's County (222)

These names come from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which records historical and local names of populated places: small settlements, neighborhoods, rural localities and former towns. The Census Bureau does not report them as cities, towns or census-designated places, so no figures exist for them at this level. The county figures above are the closest available estimate. A name can appear for a place that no longer exists or that lies inside a larger place.
