Non-Maryland residents selling property are charged based on what?

The amount non-Maryland residents are charged when selling property is typically based on the total payment. This approach reflects the overall monetary transaction involved in the sale, which includes not just the price of the property but also any underlying financial obligations or agreements related to the property sale. It often encompasses the full context of the sale, ensuring that the assessment considers all funds changing hands during the transaction, such as buyer deposits, closing costs, and other financial elements that may be pertinent.

By focusing on the total payment, this method ensures a comprehensive understanding of the financial dynamics between parties involved in the sale, making it easier to calculate any applicable fees, taxes, or other obligations resulting from the transaction.
