METER AND SUBMETER PERMITS
Effective Sept. 1, 2024, new meter fees will go into effect and the City of Rockville will require that water meter or submeter work be applied for separately from other plumbing-related work to allow for a more streamlined process. Meter and submeter permit applications that include additional work will be returned and required to be submitted under a separate permit application. View the new meter fees and instructions on how to apply for meter and submeter permits . Please contact permits@rockvillemd.gov if you have any questions.

Both commercial and residential properties in the City of Rockville are required to obtain permits before starting construction projects related to certain types of work, such as electrical, plumbing, mechanical, structural, etc. Work in or adjacent to the public right-of-way or impacting trees or stormwater facilities also requires permits. Most permits require one or more inspections before work is considered complete and final.
Construction in Rockville is regulated by the Rockville City Code and State of Maryland Fire Prevention Code, among other codes and regulations. Learn more about the city's building and safety codes.
