How to Book a Facility
Making Reservations
The Montgomery County Permit Office offers five ways to permit a facility; online, in person, mail-in, fax or phone-in. Application forms are available at our Permit Office locations or by clicking on the links below. You will not be able to complete your reservation unless you have a ParkPASS account number. If you don't have one yet, please go to www.ParkPASS.org and sign up today. These accounts are FREE, easy to set up, and will make your future bookings quick and convenient. Plus, as a ParkPASS holder, you'll be able to book park facilities and register for classes and programs online 24/7 from the comfort of your home or office!
