Howard County, Maryland - Electronic Plan Submission & Review

One of the duties of the Sheriff is to provide enforcement for court ordered assistance to property owners. Evictions are an unfortunate but necessary part of that duty. The Landlord/Tenant Section is responsible for the service of all related summonses and notices regarding the eviction process. This unit works in accordance with the District Court of Maryland.

The most visible section of the Sheriff's Office is the uniformed Patrol Operations Section. These deputies operate highly visible patrol cruisers and are assigned to one of eight geographic patrol sectors in Howard County for the service of criminal and civil process. They also assist local law enforcement agencies in calls for service, when needed.

Patrol deputies routinely enforce the Maryland Criminal and Traffic laws and provide security to all judges, staff, and visitors in and around the Circuit Court Complex.
