Germantown

With no separate town government, construction in Germantown follows Montgomery County's standard unincorporated-area permitting process, the same as Bethesda and Potomac.
The property location helps frame the conversation, while the project type, conditions and services involved help define what should be discussed next.

Permitting and Jurisdiction in Germantown
Building permits, plan review and inspections for Germantown properties are handled directly by the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services.
Germantown's scale and village structure — including Churchill, Gunners Lake, Clopper's Mill, Kingsview, Middlebrook and Neelsville — means project scope varies depending on which part of the community a property sits in.

WHY MOLE
Design and construction move through one coordinated process, from initial scope through the final walkthrough.
Residential and commercial capability sits within the same company, so property type doesn't limit which services are available.
Project scope is defined and reviewed before work begins, so decisions aren't made after construction is already underway.
Remodeling and roofing can be coordinated under one contractor when a project's scope calls for both.
The same process applies across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland, regardless of jurisdiction.
