Start a Complaint Inquiry

You may file a complaint of discrimination with the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR) if you believe that you have been the victim of discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, state contracts, commercial leasing, or health services because of your race, color, religion or creed, sex, age, ancestry or national origin, marital status, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information (employment only), familial status (housing only), source of income (housing only), and/or military status (employment and housing only).

MCCR investigates complaints from anyone who reasonably believes they have been discriminated against. The Commission may also initiate a complaint based on reliable information that any person or business is or has been engaged in a discriminatory practice. Any person may visit any Maryland Commission on Civil Rights office to file a complaint.

Submit an inquiry online

The first step to filing a complaint is to fill out our preliminary inquiry form online. After you complete our online form, the Intake Unit will contact you to schedule an interview (either by phone or in-person) with one of our trained Intake Officers to complete the process. You must complete the interview, and sign and return any and all necessary documents (including the Charge of Discrimination) to the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights before the complaint is officially filed.

Complaints of employment must be filed within 300 days of the alleged unlawful incident, complaints of housing discrimination must be filed within one year of the alleged unlawful incident, and complaints of public accommodations discrimination must be filed within six (6) months of the alleged unlawful incident.

Note: The completion of this online form does not constitute the filing of a complaint of discrimination with the Commission pursuant to Title 20 of the State Government Article, Annotate Code of Maryland.
