Frequently Asked Questions
How much do general home modifications cost in Crofton?

Minor modifications like grab bars and threshold ramps start at $300–$600. Bathroom modifications (walk-in showers, comfort-height toilets) typically run $8,000–$18,000.

Do I need a permit for home modifications in the county?
Yes. The Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits requires building permits for any structural, plumbing, or electrical work — including doorway widening, bathroom remodels, and stairlift installations. Permit review typically takes 2-3 weeks. Reputable Crofton-area contractors include permit fees in their quotes and manage the complete application process on your behalf.
What grants or funding are available in Maryland for home modifications?
Anne Arundel County does not have a county-specific home modification grant program.

VA HISA grants provide up to $6,800 for veterans with a medical necessity referral. USDA Section 504 loans offer up to $40,000 at 1% fixed interest for very-low-income homeowners.
