As a department of Harford County Government, we are responsible for the administration and enforcement of all laws and regulations pertaining to licenses, including those relating to building and construction, plumbing, electrical installations, mobile homes, abandoned buildings and animal control within our County. We are responsible for administering and issuing all County licenses and plumbing and electrical permits, except those specifically required by law to be issued by another County agency. Additionally, we render permit and inspection services through cooperative agreements to our County’s three municipalities.
