Electrical Wiring Permit (State Program) in Unincorporated Fremont County, Wyoming
VerifiedElectrical wiring permits in unincorporated Fremont County are issued by the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office — Department of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety (Chief Electrical Inspector) — NOT by Fremont County. Per the WSFM 'LOCAL AND STATE JURISDICTIONS' chart, Fremont County's ELEC INSP/PR columns are both marked S/S (state) at the unincorporated-county level, confirming the county holds no delegated electrical authority outside city limits. (Contrast: the City of Riverton, a separate incorporated jurisdiction within the county, DOES run its own electrical program — see the separate Riverton page.)

Tips
- Do not confuse unincorporated Fremont County's electrical process with the City of Riverton's: inside Riverton city limits, the city itself issues electrical permits and inspects under its own Municipal Code Chapter 15.08 — but everywhere ELSE in the county (unincorporated areas), it is the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's statewide program that issues the wiring permit and performs the inspection.
- The State of Wyoming's Chief Electrical Inspector licenses individual electrical contractors, journeymen, and apprentices statewide — this licensing function is separate from, and exists everywhere alongside, whichever entity (state or a delegated city) actually issues the wiring permit for your specific address.
- Confirm with the WSFM office or Fremont County Planning whether your parcel is inside or outside an incorporated city's limits before assuming which electrical process applies.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Fremont County issue electrical permits?
- No. Per the Wyoming Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety's jurisdictions chart, unincorporated Fremont County's electrical inspection and permitting are both marked as state (S/S) — meaning the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office issues wiring permits and performs inspections countywide outside incorporated city limits. Only incorporated cities within the county that have taken their own electrical delegation (such as the City of Riverton) issue their own electrical permits.
