A Westernport trailer position needs the county floodplain check too
Being inside Westernport does not remove the county from a floodplain-placement question. The town's Chapter 72 gives Allegany County authority to enforce the county floodplain ordinance within the municipal limits. For a proposed temporary shower or restroom near water, send the actual equipment position for review. A property address alone may not tell staff which part of the lot you intend to use.
Separate the floodplain question from permission to use the land
Ask the Town Clerk about municipal placement or public-space use, and identify the county floodplain review when the parcel or proposed pad warrants it. The code's enforcement agreement does not classify your parcel or determine whether your particular installation needs a permit.
A useful submission is an aerial image or plan with the trailer, any external tank, entrance and the complete delivery route marked. Include rental dates and whether the unit supports a building repair, an event or another use. Keep the question specific enough that the response applies to the arrangement you intend to book.

Contact the county about the marked floodplain position
Allegany County Land Development Services lists floodplain management among its functions and provides lds@alleganygov.org and 301-777-5951 for enquiries. When contacting the county about a Westernport position, identify the town and its Chapter 72 enforcement agreement so the question is routed to the appropriate staff.
Send the same marked position to the rental supplier once the applicable reviews are settled. If staff require a different location, revise the plan before ordering: moving a trailer can also change its entrance, utility route and service access. Keep the town's land-use or public-space permission separate from the county's floodplain response.
