HB 703 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Dorchester County - County Property Leases - Notice Exemptions

This bill exempts Dorchester County from standard public notice requirements when leasing county property under specific conditions. It allows the county to enter leases with terms of five years or less and annual rents of $750 or less without publishing weekly notices in local newspapers for three weeks. The exemption directly affects Dorchester County's process for managing small-scale, low-cost property leases. This change streamlines administrative procedures for these limited agreements while maintaining notice requirements for longer or higher-cost leases.
