Property valuation, tax balances, deeds, and court judgments are different tasks. Start with the office that handles the record you need, and use the property address or notice when you contact it.
Maryland · assessed property values and property records for Washington County
Use SDAT to look up a parcel’s assessed value, ownership information, and legal description. This is the assessment and property-record path, not the county property-tax payment office.
Washington County · real-property tax bills and balances
Contact the Treasurer for a Washington County property-tax balance, delinquency status, or payment question. Use the parcel address or tax-account information on the bill.
Washington County · recorded deeds, land records, and court records
For a recorded deed or another land record, use the Clerk’s Land Records path. For a court case or judgment, use the court-records path instead. Those are different records from an SDAT assessment or a Treasurer tax balance.
Washington County · estate and probate office
Start here to find the county estate-administration route for a home connected to an estate. The estate file and any applicable documents determine who can act for that property.
City of Hagerstown · properties within city limits
Use the City for building-code enforcement, open permits, and code questions about a property inside Hagerstown city limits.
Washington County · county properties outside Hagerstown city limits
For a property in unincorporated Washington County, use the county office for permit, inspection, and property-compliance questions. Check the address to confirm which jurisdiction applies.
These independent state, federal, and community resources can help you find information or counseling. Check the current program and case details with the organization you contact.
Maryland · foreclosure-prevention and housing-counseling referrals
Maryland DHCD’s HOPE program connects homeowners with foreclosure-prevention information and housing-counseling referrals.
Phone: 1-877-462-7555
Federal locator · find a counselor serving the Hagerstown area
Use the locator to find a HUD-approved housing counselor for questions about foreclosure, mortgage options, or budgeting. Ask the counselor about cost and eligibility before starting services.
Maryland · official court information
Use the Judiciary’s housing page for official background. The notice, court file, and current dates for a particular property need to be checked against that case.
Washington County · community programs and referrals
The local community action organization lists housing assistance and referrals among its resident support resources.
Caregiver and dementia information
Families planning a home transition during a care change can check the chapter’s information and contact options for relevant support.
A Maryland rule to check
Maryland’s state transfer tax is generally 0.5% of the sale price. Each county sets its recordation tax, and many counties also charge a county transfer tax. The law generally presumes the buyer and seller split these taxes equally unless the contract says otherwise.
If the buyer is a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live in the home, the state transfer-tax rate is 0.25%; the seller pays that state tax, the recordation tax, and any local transfer tax unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt. Ask the settlement company to show the current Washington County rates, contract allocation, and any exemption that applies to your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“WellSpan transferred me to their Chambersburg facility and I needed to be there in four weeks. My West York house was in good shape but I couldn't be in two places at once for a traditional sale. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the same morning I called. Closed in eight days. I made it to Chambersburg before my start date.”
“Divorce settlement required the house on King Street to be sold. My ex and I couldn't even be in the same room. USA Home Buyers handled everything through our attorneys. One number, one closing, proceeds split the day we signed.”
“Received an Act 91 notice in January. I had no idea I had maybe six months before a sheriff sale. USA Home Buyers explained everything — the timeline, the options — and had a written offer the next morning. We closed before any court filings. I walked away with $41,000 instead of nothing.”

Use Maryland SDAT for the assessed value and property record. The Washington County Treasurer handles property-tax bills and balances; those are separate questions.
Contact the Washington County Treasurer using the official link above for the parcel balance, delinquency status, and payment information. SDAT is the assessment and property-record route, not the county tax-bill office.
For a recorded deed, use the Washington County Circuit Court Clerk’s Land Records path. For a court case or judgment, use the Clerk’s court-records route. A title professional can help connect a record to a specific property.
The Washington County Register of Wills is the county estate-office starting point. The estate file and any applicable documents determine who can act for that property, so check the actual record and ask the office about the next step.
For a property inside Hagerstown city limits, contact the City of Hagerstown Building and Code Enforcement office. For a property in unincorporated Washington County, use County Permits and Inspections. Confirm the jurisdiction using the property address.
Maryland’s HOPE Hotline is 1-877-462-7555, and HUD’s locator can help you find a housing counselor. For dates or filings in a specific case, use the notice and current court record; a resource page cannot determine the status of a particular property.
