DMV Local News: Montgomery County Raises Party Fines

Montgomery County, Maryland, is turning up the heat on unlicensed house parties, and the fines are no joke!
This week, officials voted to increase penalties for illegal, for-profit house parties in residential neighborhoods. The fine for hosting such events has skyrocketed from $25 to a hefty $5,000, with additional violations racking up to $15,000. The move aims to address public safety concerns, including noise disturbances, parking chaos, and traffic congestion.
The crackdown focuses on commercial events promoted online with ticket sales, which have been deemed disruptive and unsafe.
Dominique Da Diva highlighted the viral “Wet Dreams Mansion Pool Party” in Potomac as an example of the type of events under scrutiny. “If you’re promoting this as a business, you might want to find another hustle,” she quipped during her “Diva’s Daily Dirt” segment.
The new regulations aim to close loopholes and strengthen licensing requirements, ensuring residential neighborhoods remain peaceful. So, if you’re planning a summer kickback in Montgomery County, think twice—or risk a hefty fine!
