Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
The State Fire Marshal accepts or rejects a plan-review submission for review within five business days, then completes review of a complete accepted submittal within 21 business days. If additional information is required, review is completed within 10 business days after it is received or within the original 21-day period, whichever is later.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
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.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
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
Before submission, call 307-777-7288 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.
Project questions
This record is marked State Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 307-777-7288.

For a guaranteed state electrical inspection in Converse County, the permit holder must contact State Electrical Inspector Rick Michon at 307-359-0996 after obtaining the wiring permit through the state portal. Fire/life-safety inspections for qualifying plan-review projects occur during construction and must pass before a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Compliance is issued. County septic work must be permitted and inspected under the County's small-wastewater regulations; contact Converse County Special Projects at 307-358-1990 or the County offices for coordination.
Converse County officially states that it has no zoning regulations and publishes no county building-permit or building-code program. The state fallback applies to projects within Wyoming State Fire Marshal jurisdiction: 2024 International Fire Code, 2024 International Building Code, 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, 2024 International Mechanical Code, 2024 International Existing Building Code, and the 2026 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2026. County permits remain required for small wastewater systems, floodplain work, wind/solar facilities, road approaches and subdivisions when applicable. N/A for a general county building permit because Converse County has adopted neither zoning regulations nor a general building-permit program. State Fire Marshal plan review is limited to specified projects, including government buildings, schools, public-access buildings over 5,000 square feet, child-care facilities for more than 10 children, multistory buildings, assembly occupancies, qualifying remodels of $40,000 or more, changes to those occupancies, fire-protection systems, alternative energy, aboveground flammable-fuel tanks, commercial kitchen hoods, spray-finishing operations and RV/camping/mobile-home park site plans. Other private construction may still require a state electrical permit or a separate County septic, floodplain, road or energy permit.
What makes an application complete
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.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
