Anne Arundel County Fire Marshal enforces vegetation clearance near structures. Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (1,000 ft buffer) has special vegetation management rules that limit clearing.
Anne Arundel County Code Article 11 (Health) and Article 12 (Property Maintenance) require vegetation and debris control. The County Fire Marshal inspects for brush hazards. Unique tension: properties in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (1,000-ft tidal buffer) are subject to the Critical Area Commission's Buffer Management Plans, which restrict vegetation removal even for fire safety. Maryland wildfire risk is modest but Anne Arundel's wooded waterfront peninsulas (Broadneck, Mayo) have elevated risk. Vacant lots must be mowed; minimum 8 inches grass height triggers violation.
Notice of violation with 10-30 day cure period. County abatement: $500 minimum plus admin fees and lien. Critical Area violation: $1,000 per day.
