DPIE and M-NCPPC Collaboration
Prince George’s County residents are often surprised to learn that the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) work collaboratively on the issuance of permits.
 Although the Commission specializes in the development and maintenance of park and recreational facilities, it also plans for the physical growth of the County. The Planning Department of M-NCPPC creates small area studies, sector plans, master plans, and other planning initiatives that shape how the county develops.
In addition, the Planning Department oversees conformity with the zoning ordinance. Zoning controls the physical improvements of land as it dictates the use of individual properties. A primary method of zoning conformity in the County occurs through the permitting process. M-NCPPC has several team members located at DPIE.
After an applicant submits their permit application and plans to DPIE, the Planning Department team reviews the documents to determine whether they conform to the standards of the zoning ordinance and any additional regulating plans that govern the subject property. If the application conforms with the zoning and planning regulations, the

applicant will be approved to seek permits. Concurrently, DPIE conducts the plan review processes that lead to permit issuance.

 PROVIDE PERMIT #
When checking on the status of your permit, have your permit number handy. It is much easier for DPIE to search status by the permit number, instead of the address.
USE ePlan
Use ePlan for building permits. You can upload your plans from the comfort of your office and track the status of your permits online.
