The City of Hagerstown will transition to an exclusively online system for permit inspection requests beginning January 1, 2026. This change will eliminate the current voicemail system used for such requests, requiring residents and contractors to utilize a designated form on the City’s official website. The new procedure applies to all inspections related to building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
For those requiring inspections for specific improvements such as curbs, sidewalks, grading, or stormwater management, direct contact with the Engineering Department is necessary. This department can be reached at 301-739-8577, extension 115. Similarly, inquiries for fence or zoning inspections should be directed to the Planning & Zoning office, available at 301-739-8577, extension 138. The City’s website provides a direct link to the required permit inspection request form: hagerstownmd.org/1216/Permit-Inspection-Request. This shift aims to streamline the permit inspection request process and improve efficiency. Residents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the online form and alternative contact methods prior to the January 1, 2026 deadline.
