Fire Marshal's Office

  1. SERVICE ADVISORY
    While City Hall is closed during COVID-19, inspections will be performed virtually, when possible. Our team will work with you to find the best solution possible.

    For building inspections, use the 24/7 Interactive Voice Response System at 240-314-5040. When scheduling an inspection, you must leave a site contact number and an inspector will contact you. Certain inspections will not be able to be performed due to their complex nature. Facetime video is our preferred option for inspections. For those without FaceTime capability, please contact John Bevard at JBevard@rockvillemd.gov for additional options.

    For fire inspections, complete the request online or email rockvillefiremarshal@rockvilemd.gov and our fire marshal will contact you.

    The following license-related inspections will be suspended:
    • Family daycare
    • Group home
    • Board and care
