The Licensing and Registration Office oversees registration of Common Ownership Communities (COC) which includes Homeowners Associations (HOA), Condominium Associations (COA) and Coops located in Montgomery County and the City of Rockville but does not apply to properties within the incorporated Municipalities of the City of the Town of Garrett Park, Town of Laytonsville, Town of Poolesville, Town of Somerset and Town of Washington Grove. You may wish to contact the local municipalities for further information on requirements. Annually, COC representatives are required to update information about their COC online and provide contact information for Board of Directors and Management Agents. Additionally, Montgomery County Code requires COCs to provide all condominiums, townhomes or single-family homes for rent in the COC community.

COC representatives are required to have an AccessMCG account to access the COC Portal on the Licensing and Registration website. Updates to the COC registration information and/or lists of rental properties by paper, mail, email or fax are no longer accepted. All COCs are sent instructions on how to access the Licensing and Registration Online Network with Logon Credentials including Registration number and Community Name.
