As cooler weather quickly approaches; Montgomery County has released new guidelines for use of tents and heaters for Outdoor Dining purposes during the Covid-19 health emergency.  These guidelines include: Guide to Outdoor Café Seating, Covid Guide to Outdoor Dining Tents, and Requirements for Outdoor Heating.  If your restaurant has previously registered for Outdoor Dining and now plan to utilize tents, you must re-register with DPS (provide link to registration form).  This will allow DPS inspection staff to visit your establishment to ensure the seating, tent and heating source are installed safely.
