Info Counter

The first stop for most visitors to the Planning Department headquarters in Silver Spring is the Information Counter. Our Information Counter staff answers questions from home buyers, developers, students, community members, and property owners on Montgomery County development and planning activities. We can help you find detailed information as well as provide a big picture look at what’s happening in your area.

Stop by to view and buy copies of our reports, maps, and special data products. Checks, cash, and credit cards are accepted. Check our publications catalog.
