Dorchester County takes a proactive approach to dealing with vacant, blighted and abandoned property.  If a property does not sell at the annual tax auction, the County will take ownership and maintain the property until it can be transformed into productive property by new home owners, non-profits, adjacent property owners or neighborhood groups. We do this through a progressive policy which encourages affordable home ownership. Check out the list of available properties and process for purchasing here.

The Dorchester County Planning and Zoning Commission will conduct a special public meeting on Tuesday November 10, 2020 at 6 pm in County Office Building Room 110, at 501 Court Lane, Cambridge MD 21613.

People physically attending the meeting are asked to wear facial coverings and respect the 6 foot distancing regulations while sitting in the meeting room.

Please come by for this last opportunity to be heard about the issues shaping Dorchester County into the future
