Zoning in Maryland
What you can use the land for and how close to the lines you can build.
Maryland Critical Area program
Land within 1,000 feet of the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays has extra state rules on clearing, lot coverage and building. Start here before you build near tidal water.
About zoning
Zoning describes allowed land uses and development standards. The responsible county, city, or other local planning office depends on the property location. Use its zoning map and current ordinances, then contact the office about your project.
