Electrical Permit in Unincorporated Teton County, Wyoming

Electrical permits for unincorporated Teton County are issued, reviewed, and inspected by the Electrical Division of the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department — a jointly-funded Town of Jackson / Teton County fire district — NOT the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's statewide program and not the County Building Division directly. This is expressly stated in both the County's adopted Building Codes Resolution (Section 101.4.8, 109.2) and the County's 2026 Fee Schedule.

Tips

  • Do not assume electrical inspections can be scheduled via the County SmartGov portal — even though they may appear as an option, Jackson Hole Fire/EMS must be contacted directly (County Building page note).
  • 2026-07-17 re-verification: the live 2025 Teton County Building Codes Resolution (tetoncountywy.gov/DocumentCenter/View/31760, redline showing '2020' struck through and replaced with '2023') confirms Section 101.4.8 Electrical still adopts "the 2023 National Electrical Code"; the County's own Code Resolutions page (tetoncountywy.gov/613/Code-Resolutions) lists this 2025 resolution as current, with no newer 2026 resolution. The Wyoming State Fire Marshal's statewide move to the 2026 NEC (effective 2026-07-01) does not reach unincorporated Teton County because electrical is enforced locally here (WSFM chart: ELEC INSP/PR = L/L).
