Have you looked at the website? Www.montgomerycountymd.gov

Start on the council page.

For budget, the actual budget books (PDFs) provide a good description at the beginning about the process.

School stuff is more complicated. Even though county tax payers fund them, they are subject to state law.

For planning, you can look at the planning board website.
