The Montgomery County Council is considering Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 25-11, which would effectively allow wireless companies to unilaterally decide when and where to put up cell towers – anywhere, anytime throughout the county, with no due process and no minimum setbacks. And in many cases, without even a building permit.

We urgently need your help to stop this misguided legislation.

This Council is serving a four-year term, from 2022 until 2026. While the prior two councils (2014-2018 and 2018-2022) enacted bad cell tower zoning changes, fortunately this is the first time that this Council has tried to pass a cell tower zoning change. That also means that this Council has not heard from residents about this topic. The sponsor of ZTA 25-11 has not previously served on the Council and may not be aware of the level of widespread public opposition to cell towers in residential areas. This makes it all the more important for you to make your voice heard. Click START WRITING on the right to email the Council right now!
