The number of owner-occupied homes facing tax sale this year in Baltimore City is down 40% compared to last year, due to an increase of the minimum debt triggering a sale from $250 to $750.  Kudos to the members of the Tax Sale Work Group, led by Community Law Center and Neighborhood Housing Services of Baltimore, for leading policy and advocacy efforts.  MVLS is proud to be part of the Tax Sale Work Group and working to rectify this byzantine process.  The Baltimore Sun recently covered this issue.  Check out the article here.

MVLS is co-hosting six tax sale clinics this spring.  If your home is at risk for tax sale or you’d like to volunteer at a clinic, visit our events page for more details.
