The annual Rental Facility Occupancy Survey includes single unit properties (single family homes, townhomes, and condos). Inquiries are addressed by the Department of Housing and Community Affairs (DHCA), Licensing and Registration Office (L&R).

The survey is required based upon Montgomery County Code 29-51, and says all landlords of rental housing units must participate in the survey, tracking vacancies; turnover rates; average rents; and amenities.

Multi-family properties located within unincorporated areas as well as the municipalities of Rockville, Gaithersburg and Takoma Park are also required to participate.

Paper copies of survey are available for single units by request, however, they are not for multifamily properties. Landlords without internet access can go to a public library to complete the survey or utilize a computer in the DHCA reception area (office located at: 1401 Rockville Pike, 4th Floor, Rockville, 20852).
