Inspection process
Tips
- Sheridan County itself does NOT run an electrical inspection program for unincorporated areas — confirmed by the county's own Zoning Permit application, which routes new electrical work to the WY Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety.
- This is different from the CITY of Sheridan, which DOES issue its own electrical permits within city limits — do not use the city's process for unincorporated county parcels.
- A WSFM regional inspector office is located in Sheridan; contact the Herschler Building office in Cheyenne (307-777-7991) for statewide program questions.
