Critical Area Real Estate Law
The lawyers at Rich & Henderson, P.C., have been actively involved in all aspects of Maryland’s Critical Area Law and regulations from the time the law was adopted and the regulations were first promulgated.

- Applications and support for critical-area growth allocations
- Proper regulatory control of buffers and buffer-exempt areas
- Variances for uses and buffer restrictions
