Charles County Recordation Tax Set to Increase in July of 2025

Charles County’s commissioners recently voted to increase the recordation tax from $5 to $7 per $500. This tax increase, which goes into effect on July 25, 2025, applies only to properties being sold. The vote to amend Section 281-1 of the Charles County Code took place on June 10, 2025.  

Fortunately, the same tax exemptions still apply for transfers between family members, including spouses (and former spouses), children, parents, siblings, grandparents, and domestic partners.
