Building, trade, fence, sign and fire-protection permits the City of Rockville issues inside the city limits. Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services covers the rest of the county, so a Rockville mailing address outside the city is not in this file. Plumbing and gas-service connections that WSSC Water permits are not in it either.
