Housing Department Offers Online Reporting of Vacant Properties

[News Hound]

Montgomery County residents can now report vacant properties through an on-line reporting system. Vacant properties can pose a number of potential problems for neighborhoods. In an attempt to maintain the health, safety and quality of Montgomery County neighborhoods, the County’s Department of Housing and Community Affairs is seeking help in identifying properties that present a blighting influence on neighborhoods, particularly those vacant and abandoned properties in the foreclosure process.

Residents who suspect that a neighborhood property is vacant and not being maintained properly by the owner or a representative of the owner (e.g. realtor) can complete and submit a “Report a Vacant Property” form by going to www.montgomerycountymd.gov and clicking on the “I Want To” link. From there, click on “File a Complaint” and then click on “Vacant Property.”
