Hauling Permits

Complete and Verify Application

Although most permits are evaluated and issued within seconds when application is submitted online, the system determines which required fields are needed and completeness upon permit type, and on submission of application.

Application Determination

Currently 90% of all applications are auto issued, the applications that exceed the predetermined threshold for auto issue, and or route failures that come in for manual review vary upon route, weight, and dimensions. For example, the timing may be affected by the number of jurisdictions travelled and structures to be crossed.

Alcohol Permits

Permits for hauling alcohol can be obtained by contacting the Maryland Alcohol, Tobacco and Cannabis Commission at [email protected]
