Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Sublette County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Sublette County Planning and Zoning Department 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?
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 307-367-4375.
How long might review take?
N/A; the County explains that paid applications are reviewed and staff may request additional information, but it publishes no dependable decision deadline. Building permits expire after one year unless the applicant contacts the office before expiration; an expired permit requires a new application and full review.
How are inspections scheduled?
The County does not perform building-code inspections, though Planning and Zoning may make limited visits to verify permit items or determine whether a project has expired. County-inspected septic systems must be inspected before the permit is closed; arrange that through Planning and Zoning at 307-367-4375. For state electrical or Fire Marshal inspection requirements, use the state permit portal or call 307-777-7288 because the state's published Sublette assignment is licensing-only and does not provide a dependable local inspection-booking contact.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Sublette County has not adopted a residential building code, performs no structural building-code inspections and issues no occupancy permits; its building permit is a zoning and land-development approval. The County provides mapped ground-snow-load information but has not adopted an official wind load. State-regulated projects remain subject to Wyoming's 2024 IBC, IFC, IFGC, IMC and IEBC, and the 2026 National Electrical Code is effective July 1, 2026. No County building permit is required for an interior remodel that changes neither use nor exterior; ordinary home maintenance such as reroofing or residing; or a detached roofed accessory building/structure of 400 square feet or less that is not for human occupancy. Permits are required for new onsite construction, placement of offsite-built structures, additions, attached or permanently grounded sheds/shops/garages outside the exemption, and changes to or replacement of an expired permit. Septic, access, zoning, state fire and electrical requirements remain separate.
