Maryland law restricts homeowner associations from prohibiting EV charging stations on members' property and requires accommodation in condominiums and HOAs, while also incentivizing public charging deployment statewide.
Maryland Real Property Section 11-111.4 (condominiums) and Section 11B-111.4 (HOAs) prohibit covenants from banning installation of EV charging stations on owner-controlled property. Owners must comply with reasonable architectural standards, carry liability insurance, and pay installation and metering costs. The Public Service Commission also approved utility EV pilot programs under PSC Order 88997. Local jurisdictions may add building permit and electrical code requirements but cannot prohibit charging where state law authorizes it.
HOAs imposing prohibited bans face injunctive relief, attorney fees, and damages in civil court actions filed by owners.
