  • The plumbing fee schedule is itemized per fixture/system (not valuation-based) — add the base permit fee plus each applicable line item.
  • Call at least 24 hours in advance to schedule any plumbing inspection.

The Wyoming State Fire Marshal confirms the 2026 NEC took effect statewide July 1, 2026 (wsfm.wyo.gov/electrical-safety). The City's Informational Bulletin #2 (dated Feb. 2026, i.e. before that July 1 transition) still lists "(2023)" — accurate when written, now stale, not a genuine ordinance/bulletin conflict.

Property Access

Laramie's permit history is searchable by address

4,072 permits in our copy of Laramie's register — searchable by street address, with permit type, status, issued date and valuation where the city publishes them. This is what we hold, not a statement of everything Laramie has issued.

703 of these 4,072 permits — 17.3% — carry an issued date, and those run from 2007 to 2026. The remaining 3,369 have no date at all, so that range describes a minority of what we hold, not the whole of it.

95% of Laramie's records carry a street address to match against, so a search that finds nothing here means we could not look — not that the property is clear.
