Looking up your property information when you have your assessment notice

These instructions will help you locate your property information on our real property data system. We recommend that you print this page so that you can follow these instructions as you go.

Find your property account identification number from your assessment notice. This is located above your name and address as shown on the notice. Look for the information in the following format:

     ACCT# 01 02 1234567890
         4  40500       0391 302000 C
     DOE, JOHN
     123 MAIN ST
     ANYTOWNIN, MD 21200-0000


In the above example, the property account indentification number consists of the county code 01, the assessment district (in Baltimore City, called ward) 02 and account number 1234576890, following the letters ACCT and the number sign. ACCT# stands for account indentification number. The county code identifies the county (or Baltimore City) in which the property resides.

Note: If your county code is 02 (Anne Arundel County) or 03 (Baltimore City) your account number structure is different. See Special instructions for Anne Arundel County or Special instructions for Baltimore City. Write down the next two digits (the assessment district number) and the remaining digits (account number).

  1. Go to the SDAT web site, www.dat.state.md.us.
  2. Click on Real Property Data in the center panel under Data Search.
  3. Select the county in which the property is located by matching the county code to the respective name from the above County Codes table. The county name can also be identified by looking at SDAT's return address on the assessment notice. The return address will be the SDAT office for the county in which the property is located. For example, property located in Garrett County will have the following return address:

         State of Maryland
        Department of Assessments and Taxation

         GARRETT COUNTY
         PO BOX 388
         OAKLAND, MD 21550-0388

  4. Click on the button that says "Property Acct. ID"
  5. Fill in the District and Account No. boxes, and click on "SEARCH" Your account information will be shown in a few moments.
  6. You can click on Go Back or New Search to look up other properties.
