Here are some previously asked questions you may benefit from.

I try to keep these as original as possible without giving out personnel information, so please excuse any grammar mistakes, as this is a judgement free website:

Question 1 - Part 1: I'm filling out a request for a permit. I checked HVAC Contractor, entered License #, entered company name but I wasn't able to find anything when I checked the Contractor List box?? Therefore, not allowing me to submit the application.

Answer 1 - Part 1: You can go to this website to make sure that their license is valid: https://www.dllr.state.md.us/cgi-bin/ElectronicLicensing/OP_search/OP_search.cgi?calling_app=HVAC::HVAC_qselect Baltimore city somehow doesn't have the ability to verify if licenses are up to date, so contractors have to submit their license to the city every time they renew it, otherwise baltimore will think its expired. Contractors also need a Baltimore City epermits account in order for their license to be available on epermits. That way they can get an email from epermits when someone uses their license number, asking them to confirm that they are contracted to perform the project being applied for.

Question 1 - Part 2: How do you go about getting the contractor license listed and the permit account?

The contractor needs to do this on their end by making an epermits account and adding their contractor's license to their account: https://cels.baltimorehousing.org/permit/Account_Setup_01.aspx they will be asked to verify their identity, then once that is done, their license should be available to select from.

Question 2: I need to speak with permit office e manager or supervisor

Answer 2: Call 443-984-1809 or email dhcd.permits@baltimorecity.gov

Question 3: I am trying to get a clear answer as to if permits expire after 6 months no matter what or if I call in an inspection they extend out an additional 180 days. I have over 80 permits that I will have to get extensions on if they do not automatically extend when requesting an inspection.

Answer 3: When inspections occur, the expiration date is extended by 180 days.

Question 4: Hello good afternoon . one question. I would like to pave my yard because it gets very muddy when it rains ,but I have to apply for permission to do this work. the measurements are 15/50 thank you I await your response

Answer 4: Yes you need a permit, the city says that you need plans drawn by a professional engineer, but generally, you can get away with hand written drawings you do yourself. Here are some instructions: https://www.baltimorecitypermits.com/residential-driveway-permits

Question 5: Hi my LLC own a house in Pigtown, as the owner of the LLC could I apply for a renovation construction permit even though I'm not a general contractor? Thank you

Answer 5: It depends on what type of work you are doing. You can definitely apply for the permit now, but Baltimore might make you submit a contractor's license before they issue the actual permit. Maryland also has very low requirements for their home improvement contractor license if you wanted to apply for that.

Question 6: We had a new Gas Stove installed from Best Buy. At-You-Service Repair Inc installed the stove and charged us for the permit. That is all fine. Now we are getting a request to have the permit inspected. Is that a real process? Also, how do we get a copy of the permit to be sure tha evensubmited a request for the permit?

Answer 6: Yes, that is generally the process. You get a permit, the city inspects to makes sure everything is to code, and then the city closes out your permit. For some reason, the site seems to be down, but if you google "baltimore city permit lookup" the first link on the google search should allow you to search for any recent permits by using your address: http://cels.baltimorehousing.org/Search_TM_MAP.aspx If you cant wait for Baltimore to fix the site, just call the office: 443-984-1809, and ask for them to check for any open permits for your address.

Question 7: I have not been able to get any feedback or a return call from 443-984-1809 in the past week. The E-Plan web site indicates that the system is under repair. But does that mean I cannot receive a returned call?

Answer 7: Yes Baltimore City isnt very good at communication. Thats why I made my website. Just to confirm, they can absolutely call you back, they just aren't

Question 8: I moved into a townhouse on Hudson street. It looks like they had a new HVAC and Gas Furnace installed within the last few years. This includes all the ductwork as well. The question I have did the landlord need a permit to do the work and if he did not get one how we go about having it checked to make sure its up to code.

Answer 8: Yes the landlord needed a permit to perform this work. The landlord should just call a HVAC company, and get a quote to pull a permit for the work. They would pretty much just pull a permit as if they are performing the work for the first time, then the work would be inspected and approved/confirmed to code/closed out with the City.

Check this website to find if a permit was pulled: https://cels.baltimorehousing.org/Search_TM_Map.aspx

You can file a complaint via this website: https://balt311.baltimorecity.gov/citizen/servicetypes

Question 9:
I am reaching out to inquire about the requirements for applying for a construction permit for a roof shingle replacement project. We understand that generally, a permit may not be required for this type of work; however, we have been informed that, due to the property being located in a CHAP historical district, a permit will be necessary.

Could you please guide us through the process? Specifically, we would like to know:

What documents need to be submitted
Where we can obtain the application forms
The fee for the permit
Accepted payment methods

Project Scope: Removing current roofing material, replacing plywood as needed, installing ice/water shield, underlayment, drip edge, ventilation, and asphalt shingles. Replacing gutters and downspouts.

Answer 9:

Hmm, I don't know much about chap permits, but it looks like you submit this application to the "Neighborhood Architectural Review Committee Chair Person" per the list shown on this document.

Since you don't need a permit for the work, I would say there should be no cost. as none of the fees in the Baltimore City code would be applicable.

Payment can be made in the office with cash, check, debit card, or credit card. Payments are made payable to the Director of Finance.
