Comprehensive Zoning Map Process

Every four years, the Baltimore County Council is required to review the county’s zoning maps. Zoning determines what can be built on any property in Baltimore County, as well as the density allowed for future development.

The filing period for rezoning changes starts on September 1. Once the filing period is over, the Office of Planning reviews all the proposed changes. The Planning Board holds public hearings throughout Baltimore County, then forwards its recommendations to the County Council.
