Why Olney homeowners hire us.
Outdoor living in Olney is a fence, shed, gazebo, or screened porch on a Montgomery County parcel, filed with the Department of Permitting Services.
The margin of error on the Olney census designated place median owner-occupied value is $14,917 in the American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates. Census place 2458900 is not an incorporated town.
On an Olney corner lot in a residential zone, a deer fence has to stay even with or behind the front wall of the house, and it cannot sit nearer the street than that wall. An Olney fence, shed, or gazebo is priced with a free written estimate after a site walk.
For this area, see Permits in Montgomery County: what to expect.
Olney fence and shed path
Olney is not on the municipalities list, so fence and shed review for that parcel does not move to a town counter. Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services remains the building office, and general permit questions use 240-777-0311.

Questions about outdoor living in Olney
Where can an Olney fence skip the usual setback?+
Deer fencing skips the building-line and setback rules in an agricultural zone and in a rural residential zone. On property that is neither agricultural nor rural residential, that fencing skips those rules only behind the front wall of the house, and the skip does not apply when the lot adjoins a national historical park. A wall or fence must not sit in a required drainage, utility, or similar easement unless the agency with jurisdiction over that easement approves it.
Are Olney sheds and screened porches on the fast track?+
Sheds, gazebos, and other detached nonhabitable accessory structures under 200 square feet are eligible. A complex design, a structural modification, or an unusual design is taken in for the regular review process. A property on a private well or private septic system is not eligible for this track. A screened porch is not eligible. Real Elite coordinates licensed trades for any utility work and does not self-perform electrical, plumbing, or HVAC.
