Leonardtown, MD – Citizens who possess Transferable Development Rights (TDRs), and wish to sell them, may contact St. Mary’s County to be placed on a list that the County maintains to be shared with individuals seeking to purchase TDRs. This service is offered by the County to facilitate the sale and purchase of development rights. It is voluntary service and is not a requirement of those owning TDRs.
Those placed on the list may be contacted periodically by County staff to verify if the TDRs are still for sale. This is to ensure the list remains current. Names and contact information will be placed on the County website so that interested parties may contact TDRs holders directly.
Because the County has no way of tracking TDR sales, the list only includes those individuals who have contacted the County and is not a complete list of all individuals who have TDRs for sale.
Interested holders of TDRs should call the county’s Agriculture Division at 240-309-4021 by September 30 to be placed on the “TDRs for Sale List.”
