DEED RESEARCH AND VALIDATION

• The Treasurer’s Office is responsible for stamping every deed before it can be recorded at the Clerk of the Circuit for Calvert County.
  
  
• All deeds must be stamped by the Water and Sewer Division prior to presenting it to the Treasurer’s Office for final stamp.
  
  
• If a property is flagged by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation for Agricultural Transfer Tax, a copy of the agricultural transfer tax worksheet, along with a check must accompany the deed.
  
  
• If the current property received a Homeowners Tax Credit/Circuit Breaker Credit you will need to contact our office to obtain the correct amount to recapture prior to the deed transfer.
  
  
• When re-recording a deed, you will still need to present the deed to the Water and Sewer Department, then the Treasurer’s Office for an updated stamp.
