About each permit
Trader's License
A retail-store business in Prince George's County obtains its Trader's License not from the county government but from the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, a state office — the county's own Licensing Center FAQ states directly: 'Prince George's County Licensing Center does not issue Traders Licenses. You should contact the State of Maryland, Clerk of the Circuit Court.' The fee is set statewide by Md. Business Regulation Article §17-1803 and tiered by commercial-inventory value on the Comptroller's current Declaration of Inventory schedule, from $15 (inventory $0–$1,000) up to $800 (inventory over $750,001), applicable to 'All Counties Excluding Baltimore City and Baltimore County,' which includes Prince George's County; the Comptroller's current materials do not show a separate Prince George's County election of a flat uniform fee under §17-1807.1. The Clerk's office also charges its own issuance fee in addition to the inventory-tier amount, which this published schedule does not itself state. The license year runs May 1 through April 30.
