Digital permit application gateway

Apply for a permit in Goshen County

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

Open the official online permit gateway.

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 and completes review of a complete accepted submittal within 21 business days; resubmittals are reviewed within 10 business days after receipt or the original 21-day period, whichever is later. Goshen County generally reviews a complete conventional septic application within one to two business days.

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.

Project questions

Frequently asked questions for Goshen County

Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?

This record is marked State Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.

How should I begin an application?

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; Goshen County Planner & GIS 307-532-3852.

How long might review take?

The State Fire Marshal accepts or rejects a plan-review submission for review within five business days and completes review of a complete accepted submittal within 21 business days; resubmittals are reviewed within 10 business days after receipt or the original 21-day period, whichever is later. Goshen County generally reviews a complete conventional septic application within one to two business days.

How are inspections scheduled?

Goshen County performs no general building inspections. For a guaranteed state electrical inspection in Goshen County, obtain the wiring permit through the state portal and contact State Electrical Inspector Brian Keithly at 307-254-1081. State fire/life-safety plan-review projects receive construction inspections and must pass before a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Compliance. For a County septic inspection, contact Rachelle Anderson at 307-532-4868 with at least 48 hours' notice and leave the tank piping, building-to-tank pipe, distribution box and entire leachfield visible.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

Goshen County's official Planning & GIS page states that the County currently has no zoning regulations or building inspections. For projects within Wyoming State Fire Marshal jurisdiction, the state enforces the 2024 International Fire Code, 2024 International Building Code, 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, 2024 International Mechanical Code, 2024 International Existing Building Code and, effective July 1, 2026, the 2026 National Electrical Code. County small-wastewater, floodplain, subdivision, road-work and special-use regulations apply separately when relevant. N/A for a county building permit because Goshen County does not operate a general building-inspection program or zoning regulations. State Fire Marshal plan review is limited to specified public and life-safety projects, including government buildings, schools, public-access buildings over 5,000 square feet, larger child-care facilities, multistory and assembly occupancies, qualifying remodels and occupancy changes, fire-protection systems, alternative energy, aboveground fuel tanks, commercial kitchen hoods, spray-finishing operations and RV/camping/mobile-home park site plans. Other private work may still require a state electrical permit or separate County septic, floodplain, subdivision, road or special-facility permit.

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.

Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
