New DPIE Fees Start March 2

DPIE will implement fee changes beginning March 2, 2025, to help fund the issuance of permits and licenses. The new fees were scheduled to be implemented on February 17, 2025; we have extended the date to March 2, 2025. The new fees will apply to permits applied for on or after March 2. Fees for permits applied for before March 2, 2025, will be based on the previous fee structure. The County Council approved the updated fee schedule in November 2024 in CR-087-2024.

Under the new formula, fees will increase 20 percent, with a 10 percent technology fee. The increase means that an applicable fee which costs $50 under the previous fee schedule will increase to $60, plus a 10% technology fee. The new fees will be posted in the 2025 DPIE Fee Schedule. To view the legislation, visit the Prince George’s County Legislative/Zoning Information System (LZIS), CR-087-2024.

DPIE Public Information Office

The Public Information Office serves as the information connection for the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) to both the news media and to Prince George's County citizens and residents. We work to keep you informed about the services and programs available to you and maintain relationships with community associations, businesses and residents. We also provide departmental emergency communications, facilitate customer service complaint resolution and oversee Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) requests sent to DPIE.

In an effort to supply you with current information, we provide a quarterly departmental newsletter, DPIE Developments. You will not want to miss a single issue! You may sign-up for your eNews at Subscribe My PGC.

For information about MPIA requests, visit our MPIA Processing at DPIE web page.
