Rental Prices: What the County’s Published Fee Guide Says

The county’s publicly accessible facility rental fee document is marked effective January 6, 2023. Its general classifications provide useful budgeting reference figures, but these amounts should not be treated as a guaranteed October 2026 quotation.

Published Rental CategoryReference Rates
Large hall, approved closed event with food$150/hour standard; $105/hour qualifying nonprofit
Large hall, approved closed event without food$85/hour standard; $80/hour qualifying nonprofit
Large room / community room with food$110/hour standard; $85/hour qualifying nonprofit
Large room / community room without food$65/hour standard; $55/hour qualifying nonprofit

Additional hall room$50/hour in the published fee guide
Nonresident fee$100 per rental in the published guide
Closed-day opening fee$100 plus a three-hour minimum in the published guide

The older schedule also lists security deposits, setup/cleanup allowances and additional fees that vary by facility category. The appropriate classification of Potomac’s social hall, community room or multipurpose space must be determined by the facility.

Don’t calculate a final rental bill from this table alone. Ask staff for the current written price including room rate, deposit, staffing, setup, cleanup, food policy, any additional permit and cancellation conditions.
