MDE Launches Online Payment Service for Agency Invoices

New system will help speed up transactions for environmental permits

Baltimore, MD (June 12, 2015) – The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) has launched an online payment system that will allow business customers of the department to pay invoices for permits and other MDE services online.

The new service, developed in conjunction with NIC Maryland, accepts all major credit cards and eCheck/ACH payments and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To access the site, go to this link:  https://egov.maryland.gov/mde/invoice/#/  and enter your invoice number as a starting point.

“Improving customer service is a top priority for MDE,” said MDE Secretary Ben Grumbles. “We will continue to use new technologies, such as rapid payment options and permit tracking systems, to increase efficiencies and environmental results throughout the state.”

MDE sends out about 2,500 invoices a month to the regulated community for a variety of permits to protect air quality, water quality and for safe control of waste disposal.
