The Service

Seller representation

Seller representation puts one accountable expert between you and every buyer, agent, and inspector in the transaction.

Sorting out home seller requirements in Chevy Chase begins with a jurisdiction question most sellers never had to ask before. County tax records for levy year 2025 show 2,911 parcels paying a municipal tax. The Town of Chevy Chase billed 1,046 of them and Chevy Chase Village 722. Martin’s Additions billed 330, Chevy Chase View 322, Section 3 281 and North Chevy Chase 210. Section 5 is incorporated too, though its council set a $0.00 rate for FY2027. Everything else in the ZIP answers to the county alone.

County rules ride along everywhere. Every detached or attached house sold in Montgomery County needs a radon test taken less than one year before settlement, and both parties get the results. Sale advertising has to state the buyer’s likely tax for a full year, non-tax charges included, and those charges differ from one municipality to the next. Maryland adds its own form: a disclosure or a disclaimer, handed over on or before the contract. Getting all three ready before launch saves a scramble later.

Municipal lines also shape what a buyer’s inspector and lender ask about. A deck, fence or addition built without the local permit can surface during the sale, even when the county signed off years ago. That’s an awkward conversation in week three of a contract. We pull both permit histories at the outset, so any gap is found while you still control the timing. Often the fix is a simple after-the-fact approval.

Our checklist runs in a fixed order: confirm the municipality, pull the tax bill, book the radon test, then finish the disclosure. Seller representation covers the service in every market we work. Dates from prep to keys sit on home selling timeline in Chevy Chase, and the cash you’d take home on seller net sheet in Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase View addresses read Kensington on the mail but pay a Chevy Chase View tax. Unincorporated streets near Chevy Chase Lake and Rollingwood follow county rules only. One list fits each address. We write yours on the first visit and keep it current until settlement.

Answered

Chevy Chase, answered.

Q: Which rules apply when I sell a house in Chevy Chase? A: That turns on the municipality. For levy year 2025, 2,911 Chevy Chase parcels paid tax to one of six municipalities, each with its own permits and code, while the rest follow county rules only. We confirm your jurisdiction first, then build the seller checklist around it. Q: Do I need a radon test to sell my Chevy Chase house? A: Yes, for a detached or attached house. Montgomery County requires a radon test within the 12 months before settlement, and both sides receive the results. Condo and co-op units are not covered. We book the Chevy Chase test early so results arrive before offers do. Q: Does Chevy Chase Section 5 charge a property tax? A: Not for FY2027. The Section 5 council set its real property tax rate at zero dollars per $100 of assessed value, adopted in May 2026. Owners there still pay county and state property tax, which we prorate on every Chevy Chase net sheet we prepare.
