DPIE Public Information Office

The Public Information Office serves as the information connection for the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) to both the news media and to Prince George's County citizens and residents. We work to keep you informed about the services and programs available to you and maintain relationships with community associations, businesses and residents. We also provide departmental emergency communications, facilitate customer service complaint resolution and oversee Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) requests sent to DPIE.

In an effort to supply you with current information, we provide a monthly departmental newsletter, Under Construction. You will not want to miss a single issue!  You may sign-up for your eNews at Subscribe My PGC.

For information about MPIA requests, visit our MPIA Processing at DPIE web page.

For updates on COVID data, assistance, openings and closures, vaccinations, and other information, visit the County's Environmental Health's Disease Control page on Coronavirus (COVID-19).


Third-Thursday Community Information Session May 2022 - Verify Before You Buy FLYER

Considering buying a house or other property? 

Let DPIE help you avoid problems!

Before you buy a property, there are certain things you should know. Is there unpermitted construction there? Is it located in a flood-prone area? What commercial projects are set for construction nearby? The Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) recently held its first Third-Thursday Community Information Session on “Verify Before You Buy.” If you missed it, you may view the presentation on our website at Verify Before You Buy or click the image.
