New rules tighten tax sales in Frederick County
Frederick County sets new safeguards for its Monday tax sale to curb speculative bidding. Bidders must prove financial capability for bids over 150 percent of market value using letters of credit or similar instruments within two weeks. Corporate bidders must register under their official names, and unsuccessful bids revert to the county. The changes aim to reduce the risk of foreclosures driven by high incentives for 12 percent commissions.
