STATE MD Board of PlumbingRequired
Plumbing contractors operating in Rockville, Maryland, must navigate a dual-layer regulatory environment. While the Maryland State Board of Plumbing governs professional licensure, the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS) manages the permitting and inspection process for all work performed within the city limits.
To remain compliant, contractors must ensure their state license is current and registered with the county. All plumbing projects, excluding minor repairs, require a permit obtained via the DPS eServices portal. Adherence to the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as adopted by Montgomery County is mandatory, and failure to schedule required inspections can result in stop-work orders or fines.
