Building Permits in MD: a navigation chart

Buried in paperworkIn the article, “Permit Us to Explain” written by Laura Barnhardt for the Baltimore Sun, the author compares the process of getting permits to remodel a home in that State, to navigating a foreign country.
The amount of paperwork they demand, and the long lines at the clerk’s office are only a few of the many hassles homeowners have to face when trying to get permits for remodeling projects.
Says the author: ‘Although most of the local governments in the region make forms and information available online and several have automated telephone systems for scheduling inspections, the process can be complicated, because it varies in each jurisdiction and by the type of renovations being done. In some places, homeowners creating a garden shed might just as well be building an embassy.”
However, to simplify things a bit, the article brings you the basic information you’ll need according to the region you live.
It lists types of project requiring permits, fees, where to go and where to park. A must stop for any MD resident considering a home improvement project.
