Representative photoRemodeling and building in Parkville
Parkville is an unincorporated community in northeast Baltimore County whose population peaked around 1980, so much of its housing predates 1978. Remodels here are often about updating older homes room by room.
Permits in Parkville
Parkville is unincorporated, so permits come from Baltimore County's Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections (PAI) in Towson, filed online. Plumbing and gas permits can only be pulled by a Baltimore County-licensed plumber or gasfitter.

What to plan for in Parkville
Lead-safe work
In homes built before 1978, renovation that disturbs paint must be done by an EPA-certified firm with a certified renovator on the job, and you should receive the Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts.
Trade permits
Older wiring and plumbing usually come up in a remodel. Master electricians must be registered with Baltimore County, and plumbing and gas permits go only to county-licensed contractors.
Basements
Finishing a basement needs a county permit when you add a bedroom, move a bearing wall or run any plumbing, gas or electrical work.
