Do I need a junkyard license?
The Federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965 requires states to provide effective control of junkyards along federally-funded highways. In addition, State laws regulate junkyards along State-maintained highways (Sections 8-801 thru 8-812, of the Annotated Code of Maryland). These laws allow MDOT SHA, as the regulatory agency, to monitor junkyards and keep our highways and roadsides beautiful and safe.
Apply for a license at
Customer Service. In the topic section, select “Junkyard Management.”
