Living in Columbia can sometimes be confusing when it comes to knowing who to call. Generally, speaking, most of the services that we have come to rely on within our community are provided through Howard County government. The Columbia Association is in charge of most of the pathways, lakes, tot lots, pools and athletic facilities. While the Owen Brown Community Association enforces exterior property covenants on individual homes and businesses within the village. Here is a list of numbers that should help you in knowing who to call the next time you have a problem.
