Welcome to the
Village of Rosemont Website!
MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS (03/27/2024)
It was wonderful to see so many residents at the Village Meeting on Monday. There was much discussion about a possible transfer of ownership of the Merryland Park building from the Lion’s Club to the Village (perhaps in 2025), with overall sentiment in favor of the possibility. Thanks to all who completed our resident survey on the issue. We will keep you posted with any updates. Our next meeting will be Monday, June 3, when the Commissioners will vote on the FY2025 Budget for the Village.
Sincerely,
John
P.S. There may have been some confusion about whether accessory dwelling units, usually just called ADUs, are permitted in Rosemont. These are secondary housing units on a single-family residential lot, and they are allowed in Rosemont for personal use, but not as rental units. They must meet all Frederick County permitting requirements and be hooked to an existing water tap.
