Builders clash with Frederick County permits head
The Frederick County Homebuilders Association challenged Herbert E. Ramsburg, director of the county permits department, at a public meeting. Builders accused Ramsburg of resisting modern building methods and BOCA Code updates, and of delaying procedures by sending issues to the Board of Appeals. County Commissioner Edgar C. Wirts urged cooperation and noted that poorly built homes trigger more regulations. Builders cited repeated denials of procedures and equipment, questioning why the county did not adopt 1976 and 1977 code supplements. The dispute was escalated with charges of delays and inefficiency.
