Article 18 - Queen Anne's County
6-16.

When any lot, tract of land or parcel of ground in the
County shall be sold by reason of non-payment of the taxes
due thereon, the owner, his or her heirs, or other person or
persons (including the owner of a reversionary or
remainderman's interest, mortgagee or any lienor) having an
interest in the property prior to the sale, shall have power
to redeem the same at any time within one year and a day
from the day of sale, on paying or tendering in payment to
the County Treasurer the whole amount of money received by
the County Treasurer from the sale of the lot, tract of land
or parcel of ground to be redeemed and all subsequent taxes
and necessary expenses paid by the purchaser, with a penalty
of interest thereon at the rate [of two-thirds per cent per
month or fraction thereof] STATED IN ARTICLE 81, § 48 OF THE
ANNOTATED CODE OF MARYLAND FOR DELINQUENT TAXES from the
time of sale and from the time of subsequent expenditures,
respectively, to the time of such tender; and the sums so
paid shall be by the County Treasurer delivered or tendered
to the purchaser, whose right in the property so purchased
shall thenceforth cease and determine and the party
redeeming, upon his application, shall be substituted in the
place and stead of the tax-sale purchaser. Any excess of
the proceeds of sale remaining in the hands of the County
Treasurer after retaining the amounts allowed by law shall
be paid to the owner of the property sold; and if the owner
cannot, after reasonable effort, be found, or if such owner
refuse to receive said balance, then the County Treasurer
shall deposit the same under order of said Court in a bank
for the benefit of such owner. And if a purchaser, upon
redemption of the property sold, or upon the sale being set
aside, cannot, after reasonable effort, be found, or if such
purchaser refuse to receive the amount or fund tendered him,
then the County Treasurer shall deposit the same under Order
of Court in bank for the benefit of such purchaser.
