New Regulations Increase Cost Of Selling Area Lots
Frederick County imposes broader subdivision rules raising costs for sole lot sellers. Planning officials say the tightened rules and state mandate expand oversight but will benefit developers, buyers, and the county in the long term. Lawrence Nelson notes the change makes any sale from a larger parcel a subdividing action and may require surveyor fees and legal advice.
