Who needs to sign the Baltimore City Addendum
Both the buyer and the seller must sign Form BC001. Real estate agents from both sides of the transaction should also be familiar with the form and its requirements. The signed addendum must be attached to the Maryland Association of REALTORS® Residential Contract of Sale before the transaction can be finalized.
If any disclosure in the addendum raises concerns, either party may request additional information or inspections before proceeding. Buyers are encouraged to consult a licensed Maryland real estate attorney for guidance on any disclosures they do not understand.
What to do after completing the form
Once the addendum is complete and signed by both parties, attach it to the main purchase contract. Keep a copy for your records. If the property requires a Transfer Certificate from Baltimore City, the seller should begin that process as early as possible to avoid delays at closing.
Buyers should also follow up on any Master Plan disclosures by contacting the Baltimore City Department of Planning. For properties near industrial or railroad areas, consider scheduling an environmental inspection through a licensed inspector before finalizing the sale.
Common questions about the Baltimore City Addendum
Who is required to use Form BC001?
Any buyer or seller involved in a residential property sale within Baltimore City limits must use this form. It is not optional. The form is required by the Greater Baltimore Board of REALTORS® and the Harford County Association of REALTORS® for all transactions covered by the Maryland Association of REALTORS® Residential Contract of Sale.
What is the difference between the Baltimore City Addendum and the Baltimore County Notices and Disclosures form?
These are two separate forms. The Baltimore City Addendum (BC001) applies to properties within Baltimore City limits, which is an independent city that is not part of Baltimore County. The Baltimore County Notices and Disclosures form applies to properties in Baltimore County. Buyers and sellers should confirm which form applies based on the property's location.
Does the tenant's right of first refusal always apply?
No. The tenant's right of first refusal applies only to properties that have been used as single-family residential rentals. If the property is owner-occupied or a different type of property, this provision may not apply. Sellers should confirm the rental history of the property with their agent or attorney before completing this section of the form.
How long does it take to get a Transfer Certificate in Baltimore City?
Processing times vary. Sellers in Baltimore City should contact the city's housing office well in advance of the anticipated closing date to avoid delays. In some cases, properties may need minor repairs or inspections before a certificate can be issued.

Common mistakes to avoid when filling out Form BC001
Leaving required dates blank: The form contains multiple date fields for both the buyer and seller signatures. All date entries must be filled in. Leaving any date field blank can delay or invalidate the addendum.
Skipping the Transfer Certificate section: Some sellers overlook the Transfer Certificate requirement because they are unfamiliar with Baltimore City's local rules. Make sure this section is addressed early in the transaction to avoid closing delays.
Using the wrong form: Buyers and sellers sometimes confuse the Baltimore City Addendum with the Baltimore County form. Check the property's address carefully to confirm it falls within Baltimore City limits before selecting this form.
Not reviewing the Master Plan disclosures: The Baltimore City Master Plan can affect property values and permitted uses. Buyers who skip this section may be unaware of upcoming zoning changes or public projects that could impact the neighborhood.
