HAGERSTOWN, MD (September 29, 2021) – Washington County Government announces the restructuring of several County divisions by reassigning staff from the Division of Plan Review & Permitting to the following divisions, effective October 2, 2021:
  • Permits & Inspection (formerly Division of Construction)
  • Engineering
  • Planning & Zoning
The restructuring streamlines planning, zoning, engineering, permitting, inspection, and construction services currently offered by the County.
