What Gaithersburg sellers
should know
-
Gaithersburg rentals pass a full inspection
Every rental in the City of Gaithersburg, single-family homes included, must be licensed every two years. Before the final license is issued, City staff inspect the inside and outside: mechanical units, plumbing leaks, the roof, foundation and floors, the electrical system, and any chipped or peeling paint. If you're selling a former rental or a buyer plans to rent it out, those same items are a good pre-sale checklist.
-
Two local historic districts need HDC approval
Gaithersburg has two locally designated historic districts, Brookes, Russell and Walker, and Chestnut / Meem, with about 90 resources between them, plus 20 individually designated sites. Exterior changes to any of those properties need approval from the City's Historic District Commission, so check with the Planning Division before exterior work on one of these homes.

Pick your path and your closing date
Behind on payments? In Maryland, your lender must send a notice of intent to foreclose at least 45 days before filing, and owner-occupants can ask for foreclosure mediation. There is often more time than it feels like.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Gaithersburg?
When a cash sale is the right fit, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Listing with an agent usually takes longer: Gaithersburg homes have recently sold in about 47 days, up from 39 a year earlier, plus time to close.
What property tax rate applies inside the City of Gaithersburg?
You pay both the City and Montgomery County, on one county bill. The City rate is $0.262 per $100 of assessed value. Montgomery County's schedule for July 2026 to June 2027 shows a total of $1.295 per $100 for City of Gaithersburg property, counting the county, State and City rates.
Can I sell a Gaithersburg rental that needs work?
Yes. Every Gaithersburg rental, single-family homes included, must be licensed every two years after a full inspection of things like the roof, plumbing, electrical system and peeling paint, so a rental with open problems can be hard to keep licensed. We'll look at it as it is and show you a cash offer next to listing.
