How permitting works in Maryland
Maryland counties are the "heavy lifters" of the permitting process. Unlike many neighboring states, Maryland counties provide permitting services for most land within their borders, often including smaller incorporated towns that find it more efficient to use the county's professional inspection staff than to maintain their own.
Counties dominant; Cities may have charter authority.
