Kitchens are the most permit-dense room in the house per square foot. We are a licensed contractor in Maryland (MHIC #111971) — we pull the permits through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, coordinate the licensed trades, and hand you a written line-item scope before demolition starts.
A kitchen that keeps its existing layout may only need electrical and plumbing permits. Move a sink, a gas line or a wall and a building permit joins them. Kitchens also carry requirements specific to the room — GFCI protection at the counters and dedicated small-appliance circuits — which is why the rough-in inspection has to pass before anything gets closed up.
Your Olney permit goes through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. We pull it under our license and we hold the inspection schedule — you do not chase inspectors and you do not sign the application.
Olney sits at the edge of Montgomery County's water and sewer envelope, and properties beyond it are on well and septic. If your project adds a bedroom — a basement bedroom or an addition — septic capacity can govern whether it is permittable at all, since systems are sized by bedroom count. Parcels bordering the county's Agricultural Reserve also carry their own zoning constraints on what can be built.
Olney is mostly later-20th-century subdivision housing on generous lots, and most of those neighborhoods have an HOA with architectural review for exterior work.

Plan on the sink and range being out for most of the project. We stage the work so demolition, rough-in and inspection happen back to back rather than with gaps, and we give you the realistic date at the walkthrough — not the optimistic one.
