Know Before You Show: A Guide to Local MD Ordinances - MD (In Person)

February 25, 2026 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (EST)

Description

This session provides an overview of key laws and processes affecting property permitting and management at both city and county levels. Topics include the permit process (applications, online systems, reviews, inspections, and certificates of occupancy), zoning rules (rezoning, permitted uses, exceptions, and variances), and regulations for accessory dwelling units. The agenda also covers short-term rental rules, rental licensing requirements, and code compliance issues related to livability and property maintenance. Additional guidance is provided on Public Information Act requests and how to respond when record reviews reveal issues, followed by a Q&A segment.
