Wicomico County, Md.

Planning & Zoning

Department Overview

Wicomico County and the City of Salisbury have conducted joint planning activities since 1943. In the early 1960's, the two jurisdictions established a separate, but joint planning office to provide planning and zoning assistance to both the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County.

In 1989, in response to the dramatic changes that occurred in both the City and County over the years, the County Council designated the former Planning Office as the Department of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development. The Department is an agency of County government and follows all County administrative policies and procedures. It is funded by the County with financial support from the City of Salisbury.

Development policies are determined by the Mayor and Council for the City of Salisbury and by the County Council for Wicomico County in conjunction with the Planning Commission.

Mission

It is the mission of the Department to provide objective, professional planning and development related assistance to any and all citizens of Wicomico County in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with City or County policies.
