Frederick County, Maryland Property Deeds and Application for Agricultural Use Assessment and Tax

There are several important steps that must be followed when properly filing a Maryland property deed. Along with the state requirements, if the property in Frederick County, Maryland and is zoned for agricultural use, you may need to complete two county specific forms to see if the property will continue to qualify for agricultural use or if an additional tax will need to be paid before recording the property deed. Many clients are not aware that the property was zoned for agricultural use as it could have been many years since it was used for those purposes. It is during the pre-filing stage that this information should be obtained from the county by you or your attorney.
