Hearing Procedures

• All hearings are held in-person in the Davidson Memorial Hearing Room, located on the second floor of the Council Office Building at 100 Maryland Avenue in Rockville, Maryland 20850.
• Agendas for the following week’s proceedings are posted on the Board’s Meetings webpage by close of business Friday of the week before the proceedings.
• Participants can now display their previously-submitted exhibits on the video screens in the hearing room via an HDMI cable. Participants whose laptops do not have an HDMI port are responsible for providing the necessary adapter.
• Participants can also use a County laptop to access and display the posted materials. The use of thumb drives is not permitted on County-owned computers.

Weather Policy

When Montgomery County Schools are closed due to the weather, Board of Appeals hearings will not be held.

When Montgomery County Schools announce a late opening, Board of Appeals hearings will be delayed by the same amount of time. For example, if MCPS announces a two-hour delay, Board of Appeals hearings will start at 11:30 a.m. instead of 9:30 a.m.
