A lien is a claim that can affect a property’s title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office gives to satisfy an obligation. An older bill or recorded document may not show the current balance or release instructions.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or tax office confirms its current amount and release instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale and uses current payoff information in the closing figures.
The Ocean City property address is enough to start the conversation. If they are handy, a parcel number, latest property-tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor contact, mortgage payoff statement, deed, or sale notice can help. You do not need a complete file before calling.
The Worcester County Treasurer handles real-property-tax account and tax-sale questions. The Clerk of the Circuit Court records land documents. The title company checks which records and current payoff instructions apply to the sale.

Worcester County says unpaid delinquent real-property taxes can lead to an annual County tax sale. That is a property-tax process, separate from a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure case. Check a tax account or sale notice with the County Treasurer; for a mortgage notice, use the lender or court details on that notice to check its current case and dates.

Maryland’s state transfer tax is 0.5% of the sale price in the standard case. Each county sets its recordation-tax rate, and some counties also charge a county transfer tax. The amount and allocation can depend on the transaction, and some transfers are exempt; ask the settlement company to confirm the figures for your sale.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax.
