Tips

  • Gas piping pressure tests are billed per test ($30 each) rather than as a single flat fee, per Resolution 1359 — budget for multiple tests if the scope requires more than one.
  • Water tap sizes of 2 inches or greater trigger a mandatory Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) review, per the Application for Building Permit form.
  • The application form cites IPC Section 714 for backflow-prevention requirements on existing sewer services.
