COMPREHENSIVE ZONING MAP PROCESS 2024

The Comprehensive Zoning Map Process (CZMP) takes place every four years on an exact schedule specified in the County Code. Any citizen may request a zoning change on any property in Baltimore County, although the usual participants in the process are individual landowners, contract purchasers, community organizations, County staff, the Planning Board and the County Council.

The CZMP covers a period of approximately 12 months and results in zoning decisions that are reflected in a final log of issues. Ultimately, the County Council decides on each issue whether to retain the existing zoning or to enact a different zone(s) or district(s). Generally, each issue is a single property, but an issue may cover many adjoining properties and might even cover many hundreds of acres. The zoning on all properties that were not issues is reenacted without change.

CZMP 2024 started with the early online application period, which began on August 14. The application period will remain open until Friday, October 13. Filing fees and a timeline are posted online. Additional information about the process, including hearing schedules, will be posted when available.

Information: Browse the Comprehensive Zoning Map Process website or contact the Department of Planning by phone at 410-887-3480 or by email at czmp@baltimorecountymd.gov.
