Most counties in Maryland and Virginia enforce different zoning ordinances and restrictions that limit how you can use your property. Zoning laws are used to guide residential development and shape communities.

Whether you are building a home addition, deck, garage, or other structure, it is imperative that your project comply with your local area’s zoning requirements.  Projects must be reviewed by your local jurisdiction to ensure they adhere to zoning restrictions.
