How to Make a Payment on the Prince George's County Website

Updated

To pay a Prince George's County bill or fee online, start at the county's Make a Payment page at princegeorgescountymd.gov/pay, which serves as the central entry point for online payments. Parking citations are handled separately through the Revenue Authority's Parking Citations – Payment Information page. Because the county collects many different types of payments, confirm which department or office handles your specific charge before you begin, and have your account or citation details ready.

The Main Payment Entry Point

The county site's Make a Payment link (/pay) is the general starting page for paying county-related charges online. Use it as your first stop when you are not sure where a payment belongs.

  • What it is for: routing residents to the right online payment service.
  • What to expect: the county handles payments across multiple departments and offices, so the exact form and required information depend on the payment type.
  • What to have ready: the account number, bill, invoice, or citation number associated with the charge, plus the payment method you intend to use.

Parking Citations: A Separate Path

Parking violations are not handled through the general payment page. The county lists a dedicated Parking Citations payment information page under the Revenue Authority:

princegeorgescountymd.gov/departments-offices/revenue-authority/parking-violations/payment-information

If you are paying a parking ticket, go directly to this page rather than the general /pay entry point. Have the citation number available before starting.

Confirm the Right Office for Your Payment Type

The county government is organized into departments and offices, and payment handling follows that structure. Before paying, identify which office issued the charge — for example, the Revenue Authority for parking violations — and check that office's page for its payment instructions. This avoids entering details on the wrong form or missing a required step.

Before You Start: A Short Checklist

  • Identify the charge type and the issuing department or office.
  • Locate the reference number — account, bill, invoice, or citation number.
  • Use the official county domain (princegeorgescountymd.gov) for the payment page rather than a search result link.
  • Check the specific page's instructions for what information the form requires; requirements vary by payment type.

The site does not publish a single universal payment form, so the correct page and required details depend on what you are paying. When in doubt, begin at /pay and follow the routing to the relevant office.
