The official source

Where the official Prince George's County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Prince George's County Office of Finance, Treasury Division. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with absentee owner. Maryland rules and the Maryland guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Unpaid property tax is a dated, money-based signal: the owner may be short of cash, may have inherited the house, or may no longer want it. Every year unpaid brings the county closer to a tax sale or tax foreclosure.

How to work the Prince George's County list

  • Stack it with absentee owner or owned 15+ years to find owners who are least attached to the property.
  • Sort by amount owed: larger balances usually mean a longer delay and more urgency.
  • Check the tax-payment history on the property page: a first missed payment is different from three years behind.
  • Lead with help: many owners do not know how close a tax sale is.
The letter to send: tax delinquent ownersFor tax delinquent owners

Dear [first name],

The county records show unpaid property tax on [property address]. If the tax bill has become a burden, you have options, and selling before penalties grow is one of them.

I buy houses as-is and can pay off the back taxes at closing, so you walk away with cash instead of a growing bill.
