No application is required for woodpiles if the following criteria is followed (all other woodpiles must be applied for):

1. Woodpiles should be located at the rear of the house and within the lines defined by the sides of the house extended to the rear.

2. Stacking of wood on sidewalks, driveways, rights-of-way, etc. is not permitted, nor is the storage of excessive amounts of wood.

The Columbia Association and Howard County do not permit use of their open space for this or any other personal use and violators will be cited. The RHAC may require screening of woodpiles (see guideline on Screening).
