Electrical Permits

Change in Process:  Additional Permit Types Transfer into Momentum

Effective July 15, 2024, all Building, Site Development (excluding Cell Tower/Special Utility), Fire Protection Systems, and Trade (Electrical/Mechanical) Permits must be obtained via the Prince George’s County Momentum (online) permit system. If a permit obtained in ePermits prior to July 15, 2024, has expired and has no inspections then applicants are required to submit a new application in Momentum. Requests for application extensions and permit renewals will continue to be processed in the original permit system (ePermits or Momentum). Well and Septic Permits and Department of the Environment (DOE) Permits are still applied for and issued in ePermits.

 

STOP! — PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PROCEED

The new Momentum permitting system is live.  However, you will use the legacy ePermits online system for the following only:

  1. Cell Tower Permits
  2. Special Utility Permits
  3. Department of Environment Permits
  4. Electrical or Mechanical Permits that are associated with an existing permit in ePermits 
  5. For revisions to applications/permit prior to 5/1/23, you must utilize the existing revision process found here: 

For all other permits you must use Momentum by applying here.
