Maryland law establishes a Board of Health in each county. The local Board may adopt and enforce rules and regulations on any nuisance or cause of disease in the county as long as these are not contrary to and are at least as stringent as existing State laws, rules and regulations. The membership of the Board of Health consists of the seven County Council members and the County Executive. The County Health Officer is the executive officer and secretary of the Board of Health.

The next Board of Health meeting is scheduled for:

• May, 2021 (regularly scheduled meeting)

The Board of Health’s meeting will be broadcast live on FCG TV cable channels 19/1085, and webcast at FrederickCountyMD.gov/FCGTV.
