Once you submit your information, please allow up to 2 business days for verification of your registration information before access to the DPIE online electrical permit process is granted.

  1. First, complete the "Online Permit Application - Electronic Signature Acknowledgment Form"
  2. Next, register and/or create your user profile
  3. Finally, send an e-mail to DPIE at: onlineelectricalpermits@co.pg.md.us
