The Montgomery County Council voted to override County Executive's veto of Bill 2-25 on April 29, 2025, sponsored by Councilmember Natali Fani-González. The bill establishes a 20-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) for qualifying office-to-housing conversions that include at least 17.5% affordable units. The legislation targets vacant and functionally obsolete office buildings, which had a countywide vacancy rate of 18.5% at the end of 2024.
