Anne Arundel County, MD has dispensed with the policy of charging transfer and recordation taxes on the sale price, and the amount forgiven by the bank. They will now use only the sales price when calculating the County transfer and recordation taxes in short sale situations.
Anne Arundel County officials changed the policy after the Attorney General of Maryland, Doug Gansler, issued an opinion that counties should not be charging transfer and recordation taxes on the amount of money forgiven by the lender in a short sale situation.
Previously, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties had also abandoned that policy. Anne Arundel County was the last remaining holdout.

I hate to be the spoilsport but we all know those Christmas Trees don’t last forever. Heck, most of them were cut down long before Christmas and by now they’re pretty well drying out. Maybe another week left in them but that’s about all.
What do you do to get rid of the once live Christmas Tree? If you’re living in Anne Arundel County Maryland, its pretty easy to recycle. After you un-decorate the tree, all you need to do is to put it out with the other recycling. If its too big (over four feet) you should cut it in half so the recyclers can get it in the truck. Recycled Christmas Trees are made into mulch by the county.
While you’re at it, a lot of other Christmas waste can be recycled as well. Wrapping paper, catalogues, cardboard boxes, etc.

Crofton MD is one of the Special Tax Districts located in Anne Arundel, MD. An additional tax is charged to residents of the Crofton Community Association and is collected by the County. This tax surcharge is used to pay for the Crofton Police Department, recreational activities, administration and maintenance of public areas.
While Crofton MD is a large, spread out community, only those residents living in Crofton Triangle are members of the Crofton Community Association. The Crofton Triangle is loosely defined as being within the borders of three roads. Rt. 3, Rt. 424, and Rt. 450.
Join your friends and neighbors on January 26th for a lively discussion on CCA activities.
