Lexington Park and St. Mary's County: a March tax sale, the Patuxent Building and Leonardtown's courthouse
St. Mary's County keeps its courthouse and Register of Wills in Leonardtown. The Circuit Court is at 41605 Courthouse Drive, and the Register of Wills is in the courthouse at Room G008, (301) 475-5566. The Register's site recommends calling during business hours before a visit, since most needs can be handled by phone, mail or online. Everyone entering the courthouse passes a security screening. The Register publishes guides for small estates, regular estates and modified administration, plus a page on opening an estate.
Treasurer and taxes
The Treasurer's Office is in the Patuxent Building, 23150 Leonard Hall Drive, with counter hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, (301) 475-4200, ext. 3300. The 2026 payment deadline was September 30, and the county accepts the postmark on your envelope as the date of payment. Unpaid water and sewer accounts from MetCom are included in the Treasurer's annual tax sale, and the Treasurer's page calls them first liens against the property. The Treasurer also handles deed transfers.
The annual tax sale
The county holds its sale each year on the first Friday of March for the preceding tax year. The 2026 online sale was March 6 at 10 a.m. Delinquent taxpayers are advertised in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks first. Properties are sold as is, where is. The winning bidder gets a Certificate of Sale, which grants only the right to start legal proceedings under state law. It does not convey title, possession or ownership.
The owner keeps a statutory right to redeem. If an owner redeems, the bidder is repaid the taxes it paid plus 6 percent annual interest through the redemption month. If no one redeems, the bidder can start court proceedings to foreclose the right of redemption and seek title. The county's page says most bidders hire an attorney for that step.
Permits and property upkeep
The Department of Land Use and Growth Management is at the same Leonard Hall Drive address and runs the county's permits and inspections divisions, at (301) 475-4200, ext. 1500. Its permits counter is open 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Appointments are not required but are recommended. The department posts the county's Property Maintenance Ordinance, the zoning ordinance and the Lexington Park Development District master plan.

Real results from Lexington Park-area homeowners
“Job relocation from California-Lexington Park to Denver with 3 weeks notice. I couldn't list and wait. They had an offer in my hands the next morning and we closed before I started my new job. The creative finance option was something no other buyer even mentioned.”

“Fire damage to my California-Lexington Park home made it impossible to sell traditionally. Insurance barely covered the repairs. They evaluated the property, presented a fair cash offer within 24 hours, and closed before my temporary housing ran out.”
Michael J.

Margaret A.
Salisbury, MD
“My father passed and left me her house in Hagerstown-Martinsburg. It needed everything — structural damage and code violations. I live 2,000 miles away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 12 days. The novation option got me $28K more than the cash offer.”

Selling a house in Lexington Park, MD — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Lexington Park area?
Yes. We buy throughout the California-Lexington Park area and across Maryland, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in Maryland, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Lexington Park home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in Maryland?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your Maryland property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. Maryland is an attorney-closing state requiring a licensed attorney at every closing.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Maryland home?
No. We buy all Maryland properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in Maryland?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. Maryland charges a state transfer tax of 0.5% plus a recordation tax of $3.30-$7.00 per $500. We cover all transfer and recordation taxes. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in Maryland?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout Maryland. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does Maryland's foreclosure process work?
Maryland uses non-judicial foreclosure through power of sale with an Order to Docket from the circuit court, typically 90-150 days. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in Maryland?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so Maryland sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my Maryland house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most Maryland homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the attorney. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.

Maryland charges a state transfer tax of 0.5% plus a recordation tax of $3.30-$7.00 per $500. We cover all transfer and recordation taxes.
