Typical review lane

Allow 10 business days for commercial plan review when the application needs no corrections; Planning, the Fire Marshal and the Building Division must approve it.

Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.

01

Confirm jurisdiction

Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.

02

Assemble a complete package

Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.

03

Track the review record

Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.

Application documents

Project questions

Frequently asked questions for Campbell County

Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?

Campbell County Public Works Building Division is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.

How should I begin an application?

No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact 307-682-1970 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.

How long might review take?

Allow 10 business days for commercial plan review when the application needs no corrections; Planning, the Fire Marshal and the Building Division must approve it.

How are inspections scheduled?

Call the Building Division at 307-682-1970 to schedule required inspections. The County performs inspections during construction, notifies the owner and builder of violations, and requires a final inspection and Certificate of Occupancy before an applicable permitted building is occupied. For an optional rural-home Certificate of Occupancy, the published stages include footing, stemwall, service utility lines, rough framing/electrical/plumbing/HVAC, drywall and final. Assigned address numbers must be posted before inspectors will visit. The first two inspections of the same work are included; each subsequent failed reinspection costs $60 and must be paid before scheduling.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

Campbell County's current commercial checklist requires compliance with the 2024 International Building, Plumbing, Mechanical and Fire Codes, plus applicable county, state and federal requirements. Chapter 4 also governs electrical, mechanical, plumbing, small-wastewater and fire-safety work; small wastewater systems must comply with Wyoming DEQ Water Quality Rules Chapters 11 and 25. The Building Division enforces these rules in unincorporated Campbell County outside Gillette and Wright, while zoning applies only to designated zoning districts and most platted subdivisions. County Chapter 4 exempts one- and two-family dwellings from the general building permit, although special requirements apply in zoned or platted subdivisions and separate electrical, mechanical, plumbing, septic, zoning and floodplain permits may still be required. It also exempts qualifying structures on parcels of 40 acres or more used exclusively for farm/ranch operations, HUD-code manufactured homes, and public, commercial or industrial buildings associated with oil, gas, coal or other mineral extraction. The County does not publish a separate list of cosmetic repair exemptions.

What makes an application complete

A portal submission is only as strong as its supporting record.

Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.

Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.

Submission quality check

Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.

Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
