  .18. Foreclosure Notices and Registrations
  
  The Office administers Maryland's Foreclosure Registration System, a web-based application for submission of the foreclosure-related notices and registrations that are mandated by Maryland law. Specifically, the system enables licensed users to submit and/or search the following foreclosure-related notifications and registrations:
  
  - The Notice of Intent to Foreclose is a caution notice to the property owner that a foreclosure action could be submitted versus them in court. It must be sent out by accredited and superior mail to the property owner no less than 45 days before a foreclosure action might be filed in court. Pursuant to Maryland law and policy, a copy of the Notice of Intent to Foreclose must be electronically submitted to the Commissioner through the Foreclosure Registration System within 5 company days of mailing a Notification of Intent to Foreclose. The Commissioner does not accept submissions in any other manner. Filing a copy of the Notice of Intent to Foreclosure with the Commissioner should be accomplished before a celebration is licensed to file an action to foreclose a mortgage or deed of trust on residential property. Failure to adhere to this requirement will subject a lawbreaker to the enforcement jurisdiction of the Commissioner. Describe Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 7-105.1(c)and COMAR 09.03.12.02.- The Notice of Foreclosure supplies particular info regarding home subject to a foreclosure and must be filed within 7 days of the filing of an order to docket or a complaint to foreclose a mortgage or deed of trust on the house. Describe Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §
  
  7-105.2.-The Foreclosed Residential or commercial property Registration is planned to track owner contact info for foreclosed residential or commercial properties between the date of the foreclosure sale and recordation of the deed moving the residential or commercial property to the brand-new owner. The Foreclosed Residential or commercial property Registration contains contact info for the purchaser, the party responsible for maintenance of the residential or commercial property, and the entity authorized to accept legal service on behalf of the purchaser, in addition to other relevant info such as whether the residential or commercial property is understood to be inhabited, the date of the sale, and the date of court ratification. This information is meant, in part, to enable city governments to address issues connected to the residential or commercial property, such as code enforcement, problem reduction, residential or commercial property upkeep, police, public security, public health, emergency services (fire, EMS), to notify public law (i.e. information collection to identify trends, establish policy actions, etc), and to assist in the collection of appropriate taxes. Within 1 month after a foreclosure sale of house, a foreclosure buyer shall send a Preliminary Registration ($50 filing fee if timely/$100 filing cost if late) and within thirty days after a deed transferring title to the home has been recorded, the foreclosure buyer shall send a Last Registration (no filing cost). Refer to Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 7-105
  .14. After Initial Registration, and within 21 business days of a modification, a foreclosure purchaser must upgrade its registration with any modification in 1) the name and address of the person, including an alternative purchaser, who is licensed to accept legal service for the foreclosure purchaser, 2) if known, the occupancy/vacancy status of the residential or commercial property, 3) the name, phone number, and street address of the individual who is accountable for the maintenance of the residential or commercial property, and 4) the status of whether the foreclosure buyer has possession of the residential or commercial property.
  
  NOTE: Specific notice and registration information in the Foreclosure Registration System is normally confidential and is not public details. Maryland State and Local Government Officials might be authorized in their official capacity to see Notices of Foreclosure or Foreclosed Residential Or Commercial Property Registrations (for their particular jurisdictions only) by developing a Federal government User account in the Foreclosure Registration System. Additionally, a homeowner's association or condo in which a residential or commercial property in concerns lies, or an individual who owns residential or commercial property on the same block as a residential or commercial property in concern, may ask for from OFR or local jurisdiction particular information related to a Notification of Foreclosure or Foreclosed Residential Or Commercial Property Registration. See Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § § 7-105.2(c)( 3) & 7-105.14(g)( 3 ).
  
  Except as kept in mind above, OFR is forbidden from offering details regarding specific residential or commercial properties to the general public. System users aside from State and city government officials just have access to those notices and registrations that they have sent. The Office is not permitted to supply lists of foreclosed residential or commercial properties to the general public.
