If you have individual questions about the new law or a particular filing, there are two dedicated means to contact the Department.  First, you may e-mail the question to:  transfercontrollinginterest@dat.state.md.us  A second way to submit your inquiry is to fax the question, other related information, and a telephone number of the person to be contacted to:  (410) 333-7097.  Submitting the inquiry by fax has the advantage of enabling the filer to include a diagram of more complex transfers to assist the Department in providing a complete response to all questions.
