Tips

  • Laramie County does not publish a distinct sign-permit fee — commercial signs are billed under the same general valuation-based Building Permit Fee / Plan Review Fee schedule used for other commercial permit types without a dedicated fee line.
  • Sign location must be approved by the Planning Department as part of the Certificate of Review (C.O.R.) — confirm siting with Planning (307-633-4303 / planning@laramiecountywy.gov) before applying, since sign placement is called out as a distinct check beyond the standard C.O.R. review for other commercial permits.
  • This entry covers COMMERCIAL signs, the only sign category documented in the county's published Guidance for Commercial Projects handout; no separate residential/agricultural sign process was found published by the county as of this review.
