Don’t know the Permit Number? Use Data Search to search by property address.

If you have trouble scheduling next day commercial inspections (before 12:00 PM), please call the Montgomery County Service Center at 240-777-0311 and ask to speak with a DPS Permit Technician to schedule your commercial inspections.

Please select one of the Search By methods below and define your search criteria first. Then, click the Search button to display the results. Fields with * are required items.

Search By:

Application Type* Number* hide help

To search for a specific permit or license, select the Application Type from the dropdown menu, then enter the desired Permit or License Number, and click "Search". The DPS Web Site will then display details about the application (e.g., Site Address, Work Type, Application Date, etc.) and review and inspection status of the application. The results are displayed in the Details tab.

Search results are organized into sections, such as Application, Contractors, Licenses, Reviews, and Inspections, where applicable. Click a horizontal section bar to toggle between show and hide mode. The column header of both Reviews and Inspections listings also provide data sorting capabilities. The icon indicates an "un-sorted" status. Click a column header to toggle the list sorting between ascending () and decending () order.

No inspections can be scheduled until the plan reviews are completed, and permit revision is issued.

After you have signed-in with your Contact ID and your Personal Identification Number (PIN), the system will display a summary of the number of applications and permits associated with your Contact ID for each type of application/permit.

All applications that have been submitted for which a permit has not been issued are shown as "In Process" state. Applications for which a permit has been approved and printed are shown as "Issued". Inspections can be scheduled for these permits as required. Permits that have completed all construction and required inspections, and have an approved final inspection are shown as "Finaled".

To view a group of applications (In Process, Issued or Finaled), click on the appropriate option listed in the left side. Reminder: Only those applications that are associated with your Contact Id will be shown in one of the stages (In Process, Issued or Finaled). If your application or permit is not listed in any of the stages, please contact us at 240-777-6370.

After selecting the group of applications, the DPS Permit System lists each permit number in the group, the permit type and the premise address for the permit.
