About Chevy Chase
Premium contracting in Chevy Chase.
Chevy Chase in ZIP 20815 is several municipalities along Connecticut Avenue, not one town hall. The Town of Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase Village, Section 3, Section 5, the Village of North Chevy Chase, Martin's Additions, and Friendship Heights can share a mailing area and still file in a different order. The drive from Martinsburg is I-81 north to I-70 east, then I-270 south to Connecticut Avenue.
Montgomery County says several municipalities require a building permit in addition to the required county building permit. It lists the Town of Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase Section 3, Chevy Chase Section 5, and the Village of Martin's Additions as county permit before city approval. It lists the Village of North Chevy Chase as both county and city approval. Friendship Heights is county permit only. For Chevy Chase Village, we confirm the permit order with the village at 5906 Connecticut Avenue, phone 301-654-7300. The Town of Chevy Chase office is 4301 Willow Lane, phone 301-654-7144.
County questions go to the Department of Permitting Services, 2425 Reedie Drive, 7th floor, Wheaton, phone 240-777-0311. An interior alteration will likely still need a permit. Electrical work is a separately licensed trade. Real Elite does not take electrical work. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.

Chevy Chase FAQ

Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, 2425 Reedie Drive, 7th floor, Wheaton, phone 240-777-0311. The town or village step is additional. It does not replace the county permit where the county says both are required.
