Entries in the county owner column can be puzzling: land near Pocomoke City may be held by a trust, an LLC, a partnership or an estate. The mailing address on a county record tells a story: out-of-state mail for a piece of ground near Pocomoke City usually means an absentee owner. Records for land near Ocean City show the titleholder as of the last roll, so check the deed index if timing matters.
Proof of ownership vs. the tax record
Before money changes hands near Pocomoke City, back up the county map with the recorded deed. A title company in Maryland can run the full chain for a piece of ground near Newark.
