Hagerstown, Maryland: Local Property & Business Guide

Hagerstown: a local guide for property and business decisions

Hagerstown is the county seat of Washington County, Maryland. Its downtown streets, established neighborhoods and access to Interstate 70 and Interstate 81 provide different settings for living, investing and operating a business.

Compare the location with your intended use

For downtown storefronts and mixed-use buildings, look closely at customer access, parking, deliveries and the relationship between commercial and residential tenants. For office or warehouse space, compare the actual route to major roads with your employees’ and customers’ needs. Regional highway access does not mean every property has suitable truck access or loading facilities.

Before committing to a property, confirm its permitted use, utilities, building condition and any improvements your operation will require. Discuss parcel-specific questions with the appropriate city or county office; a Hagerstown mailing address alone does not establish the permitting jurisdiction. Use the City of Hagerstown website as a starting point for city services and business information.
