Do I need a rental license in Lusby?

No. The Maryland People’s Law Library lists no rental license for Calvert County. It lists two Calvert towns with their own licenses, Chesapeake Beach and North Beach, and Lusby is not a town. The table was last updated September 22, 2026. The library is the state judiciary’s law library, not a county site, so call the county before you list a home.
