Report A Claim

Citizens who need to report a claim for damage or injury should call Risk Management promptly. This call should be followed up with a description of the claim in writing, including an original signature, and mailed or faxed to: Howard County Risk Management, Attn: Liability Claims, 6751 Columbia Gateway Drive, Box 303, Columbia, MD 21046. FAX (410) 313-6399
