The Anne Arundel County Government consists of Departments and Offices as well as Boards & Commissions. These entities work together to serve our Citizen's needs.
With almost 54,000 businesses, Anne Arundel County is a major hub of commerce and development. With a $35 billion economy, low taxes, a vast multi-modal transportation system, highly skilled workforce and excellent educational institutions, Anne Arundel County is the premier location to do business.
Our mission is to provide efficient plan review, permit processing, inspection of permits, complaint investigations, commercial license issuance, and inspection of private stormwater facilities.
Notice Regarding COVID-19 posted Monday, April 26, 2021
Note: Due to COVID-19, permit processing is slightly delayed. Our staff is working diligently to process permit applications as quickly as possible. Currently, permit applications are entered into the system approximately 10 business days after they are received. Permit applications are then given a 10 business day review time frame.
The Department of Inspection and Permits is temporarily expanding the Third Party Inspector Certification program beyond footing, backfill, and slab inspections. See the guidance document for more information.
