Electrical Wiring Permit (State Program) in Unincorporated Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Sweetwater County has not taken delegated electrical-enforcement authority, so electrical wiring permits in unincorporated Sweetwater County (including Green River, per the WSFM chart) are issued by the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office — Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety (Chief Electrical Inspector) under the 2026 NEC, not by the county. The WSFM's own code-adoption page states the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code became effective July 1, 2026, superseding the previously-adopted 2023 NEC (confirmed via live re-fetch 2026-07-16; source: https://wsfm.wyo.gov/electrical-safety).

      Tips

      • Do not contact Sweetwater County Land Use for electrical permits — this is a state program (Chief Electrical Inspector), confirmed by the WSFM 'Local and State Jurisdictions' chart listing the county ELEC INSP/PR as state (S/S).
      • The county's own Land Use page links out to the 'Wyoming State Electrical Wiring Permit' as an external resource, corroborating that electrical is not a county-run program here.
      • Re-verified 2026-07-16: the $50/$40 permit fees live on the linked wiring-permits-1 subpage (not the electrical-safety landing page itself), and the amperage-based inspection fees live in the linked 'Guaranteed Inspection Fee Chart' PDF — both confirmed to exactly match this file's cited figures. WSFM's two documents disagree on who the assigned county inspector is (a county-to-inspector map PDF lists Dan Tobin for Sweetwater; the 'Who is my inspector?' text list on wiring-permits-1 lists Rick Michon for Sweetwater) — this file does not name a specific inspector, so no change was needed, but a future caller should not add an inspector name without resolving that conflict.
