How to Register Your Property

(Note:  If you live in the property you own, this does not apply to you. This only applies to non-owner-occupied properties.) 

The Baltimore City Code, Article 13, Subtitle 4-2, requires every owner of a non-owner-occupied dwelling unit, "whether occupied or vacant, whether it is producing revenue or not producing revenue, whether habitable or not habitable," to file a registration statement with the Housing Commissioner.  Article 13, Subtitle 4-8 details the annnual registration fees that must be paid to register your property, based on the type of property.
 
Registration of non-owner-occupied properties must be done within 10 days of any transfer of the property to a different owner and every  January 1st thereafter.
