Honeydew in Montgomery County

Everything we manage for a Montgomery County building.

County compliance, verification, competitive supply, and the Green Bank programs that most owners never claim.

No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
What we run in MoCo
Compliance County benchmarking and BEPS County DEP filings, cleanup of legacy dual filings, notice and order response.
Verification GFA and data Independent verification, which is where most of the leverage sits.
Supply Deregulated Maryland retail choice applies, so electric and gas supply can be bid competitively.
Green Bank Coordinated Montgomery County Green Bank programs are a distinct advantage here and we are in them regularly.

Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.

One county, two common failure modes.

The first failure mode is filing to the wrong body, because the state carve-out is recent enough that established routines are wrong. The second is treating an enforcement document as a bill instead of an instruction to cure, which wastes the part of the window that actually matters.

Both are avoidable with a single review. Once the filing position is clean, the rest of the work here is the same as anywhere: verify the square footage, keep the data honest, bid the supply, and claim the incentives you are already funding.

We manage the process end to end and coordinate the specialists. We are not the engineers, and being straight about that is part of why the engineers work well with us.

How we start

Filing position, then cure, then value.

1
Confirm the filing position
County versus state, phase, history, and any open enforcement.
2
Cure what is outstanding
Filings, verification, GFA, and documentation.
3
Review the supply
Rate class, contract dates, and whether bidding makes sense now.
4
Screen the programs
Green Bank, EmPOWER, and solar where it genuinely pencils.
5
Manage it forward
One contact, early reminders, board-ready reporting.
Why now

The carve-out is recent and the enforcement is live.

Buildings are arriving at us holding county orders, not first notices, which means the easy window was already spent on mail going to the wrong address. Making sure county correspondence reaches someone who can act is one of the highest-value things we do at the start of an engagement.

If your building is fine, one call establishes that and you can stop thinking about it.

Received a letter?

What a county DEP document usually means.

Which document you are holding decides everything, so read the heading first.

Send us the letter
Citation
A first enforcement step under the county code. It is curable, and curing it is the whole job.
Order of Abatement or court order
A mandatory instruction to cure, not a bill. Buildings now arrive at us holding these, and the sequence is fixed: cure the filing first, then engage on the enforcement.

Send us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.
