Leash Law - It is against the law for the owner or custodian of any animal to allow the animal to run at-large.  Any dog or cat that is found at-large may be impounded. A Violation Notice may be issued to the owner of an animal found at-large by a County Police Officer or Animal Control Officer.

Removal of Excrement - The owner or custodian of any dog or cat must remove their pet’s excrement from public or private property.  Be considerate.  Don’t let your pet leave it’s mark on your neighbor’s property.  The scent of excrement or pet urine marks the property for other animals.

Keep Tantallon Beautiful

We are privileged to live in a beautiful neighborhood and we all need to do our part to keep it that way.  That includes helping our elderly and challenged neighbors keep their property in order.  However, in some cases (abandoned and vacant houses, for example), we need our county’s help to keep it beautiful.

If you see a property that appears neglected, the Property Standards Division of the county Department of Environmental Resources (DER) can help.  They strongly recommend that immediate neighbors of neglected properties quickly notify them as soon as the problem develops.

County Property Standards

To file a complaint, please call the Property Standards Division (PSD) at (301) 883-6100, or fax requests to (301) 883-6050. You may also submit complaints, comments and/or concerns about the Department's services through DERcares@co.pg.md.us. Please include the address of the property in question and a brief description of the alleged violation.

Written complaints should be submitted to:

Property Standards Division
1220 Caraway Court
Suite 1050
Largo, Maryland 20772

Please, also email TCA (tantalloncitizensassociation@gmail.com) when you complain to PSD so we can track these issues.  Thanks

Note the Tantallon Covenants are in addition to the county property standards.

Parking
