The Scott Administration has taken a proactive and innovative approach in confronting the issue of vacant properties in Baltimore. Through the various partners working tirelessly on this issue, we have made critical strides in reducing the number of vacant properties in our city.

INTRODUCTION
Every year, DHCD responds to nearly 70,000 citizen requests from 311, conducts 250,000 housing inspections, issues 30,000 violation notices, issues 30,000 citations and registers 55,000 properties. While DHCD is generally acknowledged as a national leader in the work of code enforcement and the efficient, effective and data-driven delivery of local government services, we welcome the public's increased involvement in holding owners of derelict properties accountable.
City Council Bill 19-0429 requires the Department of Housing & Community Development to post signage on vacant buildings that will identify owners so that they can be held accountable by the public.
You can find PROPERTY-OWNER INFORMATION right here on our website.
(If an owner has not registered a property, property owner information can be found by visiting CodeMap.)
This page is also a centralized location directing the public's attention to various resources providing information on properties throughout Baltimore city.
