Did You Get a Delinquent Property Tax Notice? MC311 Can Help!

If you’ve received a delinquent property tax notice in the mail, don’t worry—MC311 is here to guide you through the next steps.

Here’s what you can do if you think the notice was sent by mistake:
  • Check Your Account
    Visit the County’s website to confirm if there’s a balance due.
  • Provide Proof of Payment
    If you’ve already paid but it’s not reflected, submit the correct documents:
    • Paid by homeowner or title company: Include canceled check(s) (front and back).
    • Paid by lender: Send a copy of your 1099 form.
    • Paid in person: Attach a copy of the canceled check.
  • Submit Your Documents
    • Fax: 240-777-8947
    • By mail:
      Montgomery County Department of Finance
      27 Courthouse Square, Suite 200 Rockville, MD 20850
Once your documents are reviewed, corrections will be made, and a revised statement will be sent to you.

Deadlines to Know

  • Delinquent notices for annual billing are sent in October and January.
  • Notices for the tax lien sale go out in April, with payment deadlines in April, May and June. If unpaid, the property tax lien will be sold at the June tax lien sale.
