What is different about Montgomery County
Same code book, different front desk. These are the local specifics that decide how long a job takes here.
- Permitting authority
- Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS) issues electrical and fire alarm permits and schedules inspections; the county runs its own permitting rather than deferring to the state.Source
- Electric utility
- Pepco serves most of the county, with Potomac Edison covering a portion of the northwest. Which utility owns the service determines who the upgrade is coordinated with.Source
- Licensing
- Master electrician licences in Maryland are issued by the State Board of Master Electricians and are verifiable through the Maryland Department of Labor's public licence search.Source
- Fire alarm inspections
- Fire alarm acceptance testing and periodic inspection are administered by Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service's Fire Code Enforcement section.Source
