One countywide building and zoning authority, legally separate from Baltimore City
Start by confirming whether the parcel is in an unincorporated area and whether county shoreland, sanitary, floodplain, or land-division review applies. A city or village may still administer the building permit.
Choose a common project or enter any description on the next screen.
Baltimore County has no incorporated municipalities. County Permits, Approvals and Inspections administers building, zoning, electrical, plumbing/gas, and HVACR records countywide. A Baltimore postal address can still be in Baltimore City, so the parcel jurisdiction code—not the mailing city—controls the portal.
This is a preparation sequence, not a claim that Baltimore County, MD issues every listed approval. Permit Check confirms the issuing authority for the parcel before filing.
