MDP’s Property Map and Data Products

The Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) annually updates the more than 2,800 property maps, or tax maps, for Maryland’s 23 counties − Baltimore City maintains its own property maps. MDP distributes these maps to the public in electronic DVD format, online or as paper tax maps with no included data.

Maryland’s tax maps are updated and maintained electronically as part of MDP’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database. The tax maps are then combined with recent parcel information from the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation as individual parcel records are linked to their property locations on the tax maps.

Tax Maps, Parcel data, Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) data, recent Sale data and associated layers including aerial imagery, ZIP code boundary files, land use/land cover data, census geography and census demographic data, Priority Funding Area (PFA) designations, legislative and congressional district boundary files, flood plain data, generalized zoning designations, protected land boundaries, sewer service area boundaries and (except for FINDER Online) residential Sales x,y point files for CY 2007-2002 derived from the SDAT parcel data are available through MDP as:
