County Planning Counter Closed for Walk-Ins During Year-End

The Planning Information Services intake and information counter at 1616 McCormick Drive, First Floor, in Largo suspended walk-in services for several year-end dates, the office announced. The counter was closed starting at noon on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, remained closed on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, and was also closed on Friday, January 2, 2026. Regular business hours resumed Monday, January 5, 2026.

The intake counter normally operates from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, handling zoning and case information, initial review of applications, and other in-person requests. During the closure, residents, applicants, and planning professionals were advised to seek assistance by calling 240-545-8976 or by emailing PPD-InfoCounter@ppd.mncppc.org.

For individuals and firms that rely on face-to-face intake to submit materials, obtain zoning confirmations, or ask detailed questions about case status, the temporary suspension of walk-in services represented a practical interruption. In-person appointments and same-day drop-offs were not available on the listed dates, creating the potential for brief delays in processing timelines tied to physical submissions. The office notice also reiterated which holidays the offices are closed, and reaffirmed its Largo intake location and standard hours.

The department provided phone and email contacts to maintain access to planning and zoning assistance during the closure. Those contacts covered general inquiries and guidance on how to request zoning or case information without an in-person visit. The availability of remote support reduced the need for an immediate return visit, but users requiring document handoffs, notarized signatures, or other in-person-only transactions remained affected.

This operational announcement matters locally because planning intake serves as the gateway for permits, zoning determinations, and development case filings that affect construction timelines, business openings, and property projects across Prince George’s County. Resumption of regular hours on January 5 restored in-person access for those needs. Residents and professionals who missed the brief window for walk-in service during the year-end closure were directed to use the provided telephone and email contacts for assistance or to schedule in-person visits once the counter reopened.
