Before it lets you grade a site or improve a public road, Prince George's County requires a permit bond guaranteeing the work is built to the County's standards and the right-of-way is restored. The County's Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) sets the amount — we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
















Your DPIE permit is waiting on this bond. Here is the whole process — no broker phone tag:
Your business details, the bond amount on the DPIE permit, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. That is the entire application.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with DPIE alongside your site or road permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your DPIE permit and the premium updates.
Prince George's County reviews and issues site and road construction permits through its Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE). When your work touches a public road or the County right-of-way — grading, paving, curb-and-gutter, storm drains — DPIE conditions the permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a performance-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind the public improvements being completed to the County's standards and the right-of-way being restored if you stop or fail. The County (the obligee) can call the bond to finish or repair the work using a different contractor.
It is not insurance for you. If the County draws on the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to plan and restore the right-of-way treat it as a permit formality. The amount DPIE sets is typically the engineer-estimated cost of the improvements.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
