Checking Permit Application Status and Progress

​How to check the processing status of a Baltimore City Permit:

​

1. Log into E-Permits and click on the "My Records" tab​

2. Click on the Record Number you would like to check

3. ​Click on the "Record Info" dropdown and select "Processing Status"

4. Each step of permit review should be listed with a due date. Please note that some reviews are for prescreening. After prescreening, additional reviews will likely be assigned to your permits with their own due dates.

5. Even if a review is marked as "In Progress" it is possible to be stuck.

6. ​See the following example of a permit which has been waiting for the plans distribution:
