Deed Recording Task Force
Start Date: 8/29/2017Start Time: 10:00 AM
End Date: 8/29/2017End Time: 12:00 PM
Event Description:
The Task Force to Study Recording Deeds for Victims of Domestic Violence will
hold its fifth meeting on Tuesday, August 29, at 10 am at the Office of the Secretary of State, 16 Francis
Street, Annapolis, MD 21401.
Chaired by Secretary of State John C. Wobensmith, the workgroup is charged with recommending a
process that allows participants in the Maryland Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) to
purchase property without their information becoming part of public record. The Safe at Home Program,
administered by the office of the Secretary of State, provides a legal substitute address and cost-free mailforwarding
service to victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault or stalking in order
to keep their location hidden from offenders seeking to find them. The program has special procedures for
victims when interacting with the Board of Elections, the Motor Vehicle Administration and public
schools. When a deed is recorded from the transfer of real property to or from an ACP participant,
however, it becomes public record, putting the victim at risk of being discovered by the abuser.
This meeting is open to the public. Individuals familiar with the process of purchasing or selling real
property are encouraged to attend to offer their opinions and expertise. Any questions regarding the Deed
Recording Task Force meeting may be directed to Brittany Luzader, Address Confidentiality Program
Specialist, Office of the Secretary of State, at 410.974.2679.

Where: Office of the Secretary of State, Wineland Building, 16 Francis Street, Annapolis, Maryland
21401
