In addition to safeguarding against discrimination based on race, gender, color, religious creed, genetic status, age, and disability, Montgomery County extends these protections to LGBTQ+ residents. If you believe you have experienced discrimination in areas such as employment, real estate, housing, or public accommodations due to any of these reasons, you can initiate a complaint by either calling 311 or visiting Montgomery County Office of Human Rights. Please locate and complete the Discrimination Compliance Intake Form, then return it to:
