How to Find a Specific Prince George's County Department or Office
Updated
Start with the Departments & Offices section of princegeorgescountymd.gov. It is the site's main directory, and every county department and office is listed there by service area. If you already know the department's name, use the site search instead; if you only know what you need to do, browse the directory by service area. Once you reach the right department page, you will find its forms, contacts, and payment details there rather than on the homepage.
Two ways to reach the right page
1. Browse the Departments & Offices directory
The directory groups departments by the kind of service they provide. For example, the Revenue Authority sits under the departments and offices structure, and its pages hold the parking violations and payment information for that office.
Use this route when:
- You know the general area of service (revenue, parking, county administration) but not the exact office name.
- You want to see what else the county offers in that area.
2. Search by department name or by the service you need
If you know the name, type it into the site search. If you only know the task, search for the task itself — for example, "parking citations" or "make a payment" — and follow the result to the department page that handles it.
Use this route when:
- You have a specific office name in mind.
- You have a document, bill, or notice in front of you that names the service.
What each department page contains
Individual department pages are where the practical details live. Expect to find:
| What you need | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| Forms and applications | On the specific department or office page |
| Contact information | On the specific department or office page |
| Payment details | On the specific department or office page, or a linked payment page |
The county also maintains a general Make a Payment entry point and a dedicated Parking Citations payment information page under the Revenue Authority. If your question is about paying something, check whether the department page links to one of these before searching further.
A quick check before you call
- Confirm you are on the department page, not a news item or a general county page.
- Look for the forms or contact block on that page.
- If the page points to a separate payment or application system, follow that link — the department page is the gateway, not always the transaction itself.
If a search returns several similar pages, prefer the one filed under Departments & Offices; that is the official directory structure and the most reliable path to current contacts and forms.
