Welcome to Montgomery County – a great place to live, work, raise a family, and grow a business.
Take advantage of our first-class public school system and Montgomery College – one of the best community colleges in America. Enjoy our many and varied parks and recreational programs. Witness our thriving economy, with a diversified mix of government work and the private sector, including many of America’s top biotech companies. Visit our libraries, consistently rated among America’s top ten. Climb on board our buses or light rail to get you where you want to go. Shop, eat, hear music, or take in a play in Bethesda or Silver Spring, Wheaton or Germantown.
Some of us are Montgomery County natives. Others of us got here as soon as we could. Either way, most of us think there’s no better community in America if you are looking for opportunity, diversity, sophistication, and quality of life. And we have a tradition of good government that strives to be as open as possible, listen to County residents, provide quality services, and think and plan for the future of our kids and our grandkids.
The information below will make it easier for you to get connected to the services you need and need to know about.
Welcome to Montgomery County! Please email me if I can be of service to you in any way.
