Unincorporated, so Frederick County rules apply: County Code § 1-15-2(B) bars placing any object in a county road or right-of-way (up to $500 and 30 days, each day a separate offence), and MD 180 and US 340 are state highways under the State Highway Administration. So the container goes on your driveway or lot, where the County sets no rule for a temporary roll-off.

Dumpster Rental in Jefferson
The old Frederick to Harpers Ferry road, laid out in 1774, with country lots and newer homes around it.
Jefferson grew up along MD 180, the historic road from Frederick to Harpers Ferry, starting with the “New Town” laid out in 1774. It was briefly an incorporated town in 1831 and gave it up the next year, so today it is an unincorporated community of about 2,700 people under Frederick County’s rules.
US 340 bypasses the village to the south and runs about nine miles north-east to Frederick, so Jefferson is a regular run for us. The jobs run from old-house renovations along MD 180 to cleanouts, decks and remodels on newer homes.

Do I need a permit in Jefferson?
Jefferson is not an incorporated town, so Frederick County’s rules apply, and they are simple: County Code § 1-15-2(B) makes it unlawful to place “any structure, fence, post or other movable or permanent object of any kind whatsoever” in a county road or right-of-way, and the only County permit to temporarily obstruct a road (§ 1-15-3) is for utility work. A violation is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500, up to 30 days in jail, or both, and each day counts as a separate offence (§ 1-15-8). MD 180 and US 340 are state highways, not county roads. Maryland’s State Highway Administration says any work in a state right-of-way needs a permit from its District 7 office on Buckeystown Pike, and it publishes nothing that covers a dumpster. So the container goes on your driveway or lot, where the County publishes no rule for a temporary roll-off at all. If you are in a homeowners association, check its rules on driveway containers before delivery day. Demolition in the unincorporated county goes through the County’s Department of Permits and Inspections at 30 North Market Street, Frederick (301-600-2313), whose published demolition fee is $235.
