    Permits & approvals

    Who approves a building in Ocean City

    We handle these for you. Rules change, so we confirm the exact office for your parcel before we draw anything.

    Zoning & building permit

    Inside Ocean City town limits, zoning and building approvals start with the Ocean City municipal office. Parcels just outside town limits go to the Worcester County Department of Development Review & Permitting.

    Septic & well

    If the building has plumbing or a living space, septic and well review goes through the Worcester County Health Department (septic, perc and well permits).

    Critical Area & floodplain

    Land within 1,000 feet of tidal water near Ocean City falls in Maryland's Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Critical Area, which limits lot coverage and clearing. Flood zones can set floor heights.

    Building around Ocean City: what to know

    • Coastal wind loads are the highest we design for

      As you move east toward Ocean City and Ocean Pines, the design wind speed climbs. It changes post embedment, bracing, truss connections and fastener spacing. Any builder who quotes you the same package inland and at the coast is guessing.

    • Atlantic Coastal Bays Critical Area

      Property near the coastal bays falls under its own Critical Area program, with limits on coverage and disturbance. Same idea as the Chesapeake side, different program office.

    • Equestrian ground inland

      Around Snow Hill and Pocomoke, it's horses and hay. Stall layout, aisle width, ventilation and wash bay drainage are where the design time goes.
