2027 focus

In 2027, Montgomery County will start a new Council term with five new councilmembers, and we will have a new county executive. The county also faces major issues, like tax policy and proposed increases, a large structural budget deficit, data center legislation and anti-housing efforts. Committee members will review proposed changes to housing legislation and regulations that impact all aspects of the housing marketplace and the real estate industry. As the landscape shifts, GCAAR is looking for members who want to engage in policy discussions and aid the evolution of the real estate industry through advocacy.
