If the proposed sheeting and shoring or tieback work extends into a Montgomery County public right of way, a permit is required. If the proposed work occurs in a state or municipal right of way, you must obtain a permit from that jurisdiction.

• An approved right of way improvement plan is needed prior to submission of a sheeting and shoring permit application.
•  If the proposed work is within an existing roadway system, the applicant must submit a site specific Temporary Traffic Control Plan(TTCP) to be approved by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation.
• Additional reviews may be needed if the proposed scope of work has conflicts with other County facilities/ features such as traffic signs, street lights, roadside trees, etc.

Plans must be prepared, signed and sealed by a professional engineer, licensed to practice in the State of Maryland. All plans must be computer generated in proper scale, submitted along with a copy of the approved right of way improvement plans and a certified site plan, if applicable. When submitting electronically you will need to meet the ePlans Submittal Requirements for Miscellaneous Permits.

The review will take approximately 2-3 weeks for each review cycle. Once all plans are approved, additional fees and applicable bonds are provided, the permit may be issued.
