Call to Action

Dear Montgomery County Residents,

Thank you for visiting MontgomeryCounty.org, The Voice of Montgomery County. Our platform empowers you to voice your opinions to the Montgomery County Council and various county leaders.

We want to draw your attention to an exciting Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA 23-09, introduced by Lead Sponsor Montgomery County Councilmember Fani-González, and Co-Sponsors Council President Glass and Council Vice-President Friedson.

ZTA 23-09 proposes allowing overnight stays on farms in the AR zone. You can read the full Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA 23-09, by following this link

We believe this ZTA would be a valuable addition to the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve, offering residents and visitors the chance to appreciate the beauty of Montgomery County Farms and the Agricultural Reserve.

For more details about ZTA 23-09, including various perspectives, check this link.

Here are expressions of support from Montgomery County Farmers and Large Land Owners:

“Incidental overnight stays are good for farmers, good for the environment and good for people. This is also a great opportunity for struggling farmers to earn extra income and people to visit our amazing farms”.
