Tank Permit Application Process
Any addition or modification of a flammable liquid storage tank requires a tank permit from DPS.
All payments and permit applications, including supporting documentation for review, must be submitted electronically through ePlans.
Permits can usually be issued within five business days, and typically, there is no inspection required.
Please see our fee schedule for information about fees associated with this permit and inspection process. You are also welcome to contact us directly by using the Staff Directory at the bottom of this page or by calling 240.777.0311.
The application can be found below in Step 1. It must include a legible site plan showing the dimensions of the two nearest property lines and the closest building(s) or structures, including sheds, houses, barns, or other utility structures.
Yes, replacements can be captured in a single permit application. However, each process (each tank) requires a separate review and fee. Be sure to clearly indicate all removal and installation activities in the project description.
The installation of a new tank may require associated building permits from DPS and/or plumbing permits from WSSC, especially for non-residential installations. The Fire Code Compliance Tank permit is not a building permit.
