Is a permit required to do emergency plumbing work?
A licensed Master Plumber may undertake emergency work to rectify an immediate health or hazardous condition without obtaining prior approval. However, the City must be notified of the situation by faxing a completed application to the Rockville Inspection Services Division at 240-314-8265. The contractor must follow up with a formal permit submittal the following business day. All work requiring permits must not be covered or concealed from the inspector’s view.
