Expansion of Permit Notifications

HAGERSTOWN, MD (May 22, 2019) – The Washington County Division of Plan Review and Permitting have recently expanded their notification capabilities. Permit applicants will now receive an email notification when a permit has been issued. The email will state one of the following depending on how the custom field for issuance is marked:

  1. This is to notify you that your permit has been approved and issued.  Please contact the Permitting Office to advise if permit should be mailed or picked-up. (this applies to any permit where the custom field for mail or pick-up is accidentally left blank)
  2. This is to notify you that your permit has been approved and issued and placed at the front counter for pick-up. (this applies to any permit where the custom field was marked for pick-up)
  3. This is to notify you that your permit has been approved and issued and mailed to the applicant listed on the permit. (this applies to any permit where the custom field was marked for mailing)
  4. This is to notify you that your permit has been approved and issued and will be available for pick-up at the Town office within 1-2 business days.  Please contact the Town office for pick-up.

This will positively impact permit applicants by providing the precise day when their permit is complete. The applicant will be able to choose the form in which they receive the permit. Applicants do not have to come into the office; the permit can be mailed directly to them. Applicants do not have to wait to speak to a Permit Technician if they so choose; the permit can be picked up from the front desk. If the permit is for an incorporated town, the applicant does not have to travel to the permit office to pick it up. The permit can be delivered to the town’s government office.

For additional information, please contact Washington County’s Public Relations and Marketing Department at 240-313-2380.
