Tax Sale Forclosure Attorney- I am looking to pay the taxes on a property in Balt MD

[RICO BARNES]

I am looking to pay the taxes on a property in Balt MD listed in the "Tax sale" booklet provided by 200 Holiday before it goes to the "Tax sale auction". I would like to get an attorney involved in the foreclosure process, but I am finding it hard to locate one. At what point do I need to get an attorney involved in the process and what would be the cost? I am new to this and any advise or recommendations are welcome. The property is listed as vacant and I have gone to see it (the outside). Thank you in advance for you help.

@RICO BARNES You can only foreclose the lien if you own it, meaning you need to be the winning bidder at the tax sale. When you can start the foreclosure process is typically 6 months after the tax sale but that can increase or decrease based upon occupancy / vacant building status and compliance with various notice requirements.

Once you have liens to foreclose there are actually only a handful or two of attorneys in the City who specialize in tax sale foreclosures... I would be happy to share who I recommend on the back end of this site if interested. 

I'm sure @Ned Carey can provide some more guidance here.
