What should sellers in Elkton know?
Maryland seller disclosure or disclaimer
Maryland sellers give either a full disclosure or a disclaimer (Real Property §10-702). A disclaimer means an as-is sale, but you still must disclose known latent defects. If a buyer doesn't get the form before signing, they can rescind within 5 days of receiving it.
Transfer and recordation taxes
The state transfer tax is 0.5% (0.25% for a first-time Maryland owner-occupant buyer, paid by the seller). Cecil County adds a 0.5% transfer tax and a recordation tax of $4.10 per $500. Who pays is set by the contract. When Silverside buys your house, we pay all closing costs, including your share of the transfer and recordation taxes.
Selling from out of state?
If you live in Delaware or elsewhere, Maryland withholds tax from nonresident sellers' proceeds: 8.75% for individuals and 8.25% for entities (sales after June 30, 2025), unless an exemption applies.
Wholesaler notice
Since October 1, 2025, Maryland requires a buyer who may assign the contract to tell you in writing before you sign.
