PDP an Amynta Company, located in Hunt Valley, Maryland, joins Hunt Valley Business Forum (HVBF) August, 2022 as a Silver Sponsor Member.
“For 40+ years, dealerships, lenders and manufacturers have trusted PDP Group to provide specialized insurance services and secure their loans and leases with title administration solutions customized for their unique and diverse needs. We pride ourselves on the strength of our partnerships and our unfailing willingness to curate and create solutions that help businesses optimize operations, minimize risk, and provide outstanding customer service.”
“While there are plenty of insurance agencies out there that list services for auto dealers on their endless list of specialties, we are one of the few dedicated providers in the market. That means we are not going to assume all dealership needs are one-size-fits-all. We will work with you to create a policy that fits your business, no matter the size or scope, all while keeping the constant evolution of the dealership sector top-of-mind.
Simultaneously, we have dedicated title administration resources who thoroughly understand the interactions between dealers and state DMVs. We work with our clients, steering clear of blanket solutions and customizing a program that addresses their business’ unique needs.
As of March 2018, PDP Group is a proud member of the Amynta Group. For more information please visit their website to learn more about service offerings, locations and more.

Public Policy Committee
Chair Danielle Bridge
Co-Chair Ashley Zito
Release Date July 27, 2022
Legislative Alert – Update by Jen Busse Esquire WTP Law
The Baltimore County Council passed Bill 41-22 Baltimore County MD (Notification of Development Fee Waiver) on July 5th, 2022
The bill codified how and when a developer can obtain a waiver from paying certain development fees. The law goes into effect in late August 2022 and may affect your business.
The process begins with a request to the County Administrative Officer who forwards notice of the request on to the County Council, Council Secretary and County Auditor. When the request is forwarded to the Council, it is posted on the County’s website for 45 days.
Within those 45 days, the Council may schedule the request for consideration at a legislative meeting. If no such request is made, then the County Administrative Officer may approve the fee waiver.
The law is silent on what exactly happens if and when a request for consideration at a legislative meeting is made, but presumably the Council will make a recommendation to the County Administrative Officer on the request.
The only criteria noted that apply to the County Administrative Officer’s consideration are 1) whether the Developer is a non-profit or for-profit and the project is funded by government resources or economic incentives; AND 2) whether the project is located in an economically disadvantaged community or an area targeted to benefit from community development block grant funds, OR and whether the project will positively impact the community’s health, well-being, quality of life, environment or overall sustainability.
Notably, Development Impact Fees are specifically excluded which arguably leaves decisions related to projects’ Development Impact Fees in the hands of the Director of Permits, Approvals & Inspections.
