Allegany Eviction Data
Warrant-of-restitution activity in Allegany — petitioned, executed, cancelled, or expired.
Maryland is the only state in the country that requires every District Court to publish each warrant of restitution and its outcome — petitions filed, executions, cancellations, expirations. This page is scoped to Allegany. Adjust the time period or case type filters below — every chart re-renders instantly.
Heads up: this data only covers the warrant phase — it does NOT include initial FTPR filings, summons, judgments, or any pre-warrant court events. The numbers below describe what happens after a landlord has already won judgment and asked for the writ.

Year-over-year warrant petitions
One line per year, x-axis the month. A higher line means a busier court that year in Allegany. The 2023 → 2024 → 2025 trajectory hints at where eviction pressure is heading.
Source: District Court of Maryland Eviction Case Data (mandated by 2022 Maryland law; published via Open Data Maryland).
Scope of this dataset: The 2022 law requires reporting of warrants of restitution and their outcomes — not initial FTPR filings or judgments. Every record in this dashboard is one of four event types: petition for warrant filed, warrant return — evicted, warrant return — cancelled, or warrant return — expired. So when you see “petitions” here, that means a landlord has already won a judgment and is asking the court for the writ to physically remove the tenant.
Refresh + publishing lag: EvictPro syncs deltas from the source dataset every morning at 04:00 ET via the Open Data API. When the state ships new records, we have them within 24 hours. However, the state itself publishes events on a ~1–3 month lag — court clerks enter each warrant manually, and the most-recent months always under-count until clerks catch up. Last successful sync: May 5, 2026 (status: SUCCESS). Latest court event in our copy of the dataset: Mar 31, 2026.

Important caveats:
- The state notes that the data reflects “when the data is entered by the clerk,” not always the calendar date the action occurred. Recent months may under-count until clerks finish data entry.
- Petitions and outcomes don't reconcile inside a calendar window — a warrant petitioned in Q4 may not return service until Q1. Resolution rates are most reliable when read across the full dataset, not a single month.
- Some recent petitions are still pending — the executed/cancelled/ expired shares add up to less than 100% of petitions until everything resolves.
- Tenant ZIP codes are clerk-entered and missing on a fraction of records. The “Top 25 ZIPs” table reflects only records with a valid 5-digit tenant ZIP.
- “Baltimore” alone (without “City”/“County”) is treated as Baltimore County for the choropleth, since the 24 jurisdictions include both.
