Baltimore removes owner-occupied homes from tax sale, limits forgiveness to those worth $250,000 or less

Baltimore will remove some owner-occupied homes from the city’s annual tax sale for the third consecutive year, Mayor Brandon Scott announced Wednesday, although the city’s forgiveness will be limited to properties worth $250,000 or less. The move does not forgive any debts, but it gives many homeowners time — at least a year — to get caught up on their past-due taxes before winding up on the tax sale list again.
