Real Property Payment Plans
In 2026, the City of Baltimore offered monthly payment plans for past-due property taxes from 2025 and earlier. The new payment plans were designed to help residents stay in good standing and avoid the 2026 tax sale.
The City of Baltimore partnered with Promise, the same secure payment plan provider that has already helped more than 12,350 Baltimore residents manage their water bills since 2023. Promise’s technology is now being extended to real property taxes, giving homeowners a simple, mobile-friendly way to enroll in a payment plan.
Enrollment for 2026 Residential Payment Plans is now closed. If you are enrolled in a payment plan and need to follow up on your plan go to https://baltimore-dof.promise-pay.com/.
How Payment Plans Typically Work
Eligible homeowners would be able to:
- Enroll online in minutes from any device
- Choose monthly payments that fit their budget
- Address past-due real property taxes for a specific period
- Receive protection from a specific tax sale upon enrollment
For example, a homeowner with a $3,000 balance could break it into manageable payments of $250 per month, or another amount that works for their situation.
