A New Process for Licenses and Permits
The Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) has transitioned to Momentum, a new online system. The new system allows customers to submit applications, upload documentation and make payments online.
Registration Information
Registration is a new requirement for applicants utilizing DPIE services in Prince George’s County. You will need to register as a "company" or an "individual." Registration is a one-time process. Once you have registered yourself or your company, you will be able to use your Registration Number to apply for any Prince George's County permits or licenses needed to conduct business in Prince George's County. The County will use the registration to better organize and communicate with our customer base.
To apply for a health permit, business or rental license or renew an existing license, please follow these instructions:
1. Create a new online user profile at the Momentum portal.
2. To create a new online user profile, you will need a valid email address that you will be able to continually access.

To register a company, an EIN # is required and must be provided at the time of registration. To register as an individual, a valid government-issued identification is required, such as a driver’s license, a passport or a state ID card. A copy of the ID must be provided.
4. If you are renewing an existing business license, enter your current license number in the Migrated App # field. Please note that you will need to have your current license number available when processing your renewal application in the new system.
