In 2022 the Town updated their fence ordinance to clarify the type, location and size of fencing that are allowed on residential lots.  Front yard regulations state that fencing in the front yard must be split rail, wrought iron, picket or other transparent fences of a similar nature.  It also states that any fence erected in a front yard shall be placed at least five feet back from the curb line, sidewalk or any proposed sidewalk and/or property line. Front yard fences may only be three (3) feet high, and the Town Code has specific corner lot regulations that can be found in section 17.32.165 Fences. If you have questions about fencing, please contact our Zoning Administrator, Robert Wilkes at zoning@ci.middletown.md.us.

Due to the continued lack of precipitation, we are experiencing, the Burgess and Commissioners of Middletown are changing the status of the Town’s Water Conservation Alert System from Code Blue to Code Yellow. Please click on the link below for more information.

The Town has received numerous concerns from residents about potential public safety issues at pedestrian crosswalks, particularly those that cross the busy intersections along Main Street.  Recently, we worked with the State Highway Administration - District 7 to install pedestrians-activated flashing yellow lights at the intersections of Main Street and Cone Branch Drive, and at Main Street and North Pointe Terrace, to increase pedestrian visibility and safety at those often-used crosswalks.  For October and National Pedestrian Safety Month, SHA District 7 recently posted a video about our collaboration and the new Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project.  Please click on the link below to view the crosswalk video and for more crosswalk information:
