Licenses and Inspections Group (LIG)

Our Mission

To protect the natural and built environment in Prince George’s County, as well as the safety and welfare of our citizens, by ensuring that businesses and individuals comply with State and County licensing laws, and by enforcing codes and regulations in a fair and professional manner.

The Licenses and Inspections Group (LIG) provides regulation of construction, development and grading activity in the County, with the exception of the City of Laurel, through inspection and enforcement. Codes enforced include building, electrical, fire, mechanical, energy, accessibility, grading, stormwater management, and other applicable State and County codes for construction projects in the County. It should be noted that commercial projects, with the exception of those involving work of a minor nature, are required to be certified by third party inspection agents under the Third Party Inspection Program (TPIP). The Groups’ Quality Assurance Section oversees the TPIP. The Group also houses the Business License Section, which provides licensing and enforcement activities for numerous businesses in the County.

When contacting us, please have the case number, license number or the building address available.
