What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Anne Arundel County carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Annapolis. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionCheck Annapolis historic boundaries before pricing exterior changes
If your Annapolis purchase includes plans to change the exterior, start with the Historic Preservation Division's district boundary map and design manual. The division reviews exterior changes within the Annapolis Historic District and provides technical guidance about materials and preservation practices. Compare the property with the mapped boundary, then describe your planned work to staff before treating a contractor's estimate as a settled renovation plan. The city advises applicants to seek review early, before signing a work contract or beginning the project. Its page also publishes application deadlines and meeting dates, which can help frame a realistic project discussion. Save the property's designation information and any existing approvals with your purchase records so later design decisions begin with the same documented assumptions.
Use the correct Annapolis system for older permit applications
Annapolis' Forms, Permits and Licenses page separates current applications from its older records system. Current permit, plan and license applications go through Citizen Self Service, while the city directs searches for applications submitted before January 10, 2023 to the legacy eTRAKiT site. When checking a seller's remodeling history, obtain the approximate application date and permit number before deciding which system to consult. Save the relevant documents and ask the permitting office about records that cannot be located or whose status is unclear. The same municipal page links residential building plan requirements and other guidance for proposed work. Comparing the existing documentation with your intended improvements can identify questions to resolve before a contractor develops a detailed scope or you commit to a renovation schedule.
