Welcome to the homepage of the St. Mary's County Public Information Office. This office is charged with sharing county government information with all citizens and oversees communications with the media and the public, including media releases, the county website and dissemination of emergency information. Due to advances in information technology, the evolution of the county’s website and the county’s cable television channel, Cable Channel 95, most information is readily available.

We have over 6000 webpages and have constructed our website to make it as accessible as possible. We are open to suggestions for improving the ease of access to information and questions can always be forwarded to the Public Information Office at 301-475-4200, x1340 or pio@stmarysmd.com. 

Citizens can also click on the Contact Us bar on the county’s home page. Queries will be answered promptly. Our five elected county commissioners can be contacted by US Mail at PO Box 653, Leonardtown, MD 20650 or by email at bocc@stmarysmd.com. Additional information on the county commissioners can be found by clicking on County Commissioners under the Government box on the main page.
