Legislative and Regulatory Issues Impacting Carroll County

Carroll County Commissioners Approve Amendments to Chapters 155 and 156

The Carroll County Commissioners approved recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission to amend Chapters 155 and 156 of the Carroll County Code. The amendments remove the 25 lot recordation limit, increases the building permit limit to 50 permits per year in subdivisions (previously 25 per year) and increases the building permit limit to 100 per year for multifamily (previously 50 per year). The Waiver Process will now be applicable to both subdivision and multi-family and it eliminates the requirement of age-restricted for multi-family and the 3-year limit. MBIA submitted written comments to the County Commissioners and testified in favor of these changes at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing and the County Commissioners' public hearing. We would like to thank the members from our Carroll County Chapter for their help in getting these code changes passed.
