Baltimore City public-records questions often split between City billing or permit offices and Maryland courts, so the right starting point depends on whether the need involves a property, utility account, case, or permit record.
- Property Tax Use this record type for real property tax bill questions where the City of Baltimore Real Property tax page is the main place to search by fiscal year, block and lot, address, or owner name.
- Water Bill This record type fits water account lookup, payment, billing questions, high-bill issues, adjustment requests, assistance, and payment-plan needs handled through Baltimore City Department of Public Works and City of Baltimore Online Payments and Account Lookup.
- Case Search Choose this record type for public case information from Maryland Judiciary Case Search, including available Baltimore City District Court and Circuit Court records, while keeping in mind that courthouse records may be needed for complete files.
- Permits Use this record type for Baltimore City permit searches, applications, inspections, payments, and status questions handled through the E-Permits Portal and the Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development.
