• There is more than 5,000 square feet of land being disturb

If your home was purchased after approximately 1980, check your settlement package for a house location survey or contact your mortgage company to obtain a copy. The Land Records at the Frederick County Courthouse contains all deeds, homeowner's association covenants and property plats. Contact the Frederick County Land Records at 301-600-1957.
