Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit in Unincorporated Teton County, Wyoming

Required for installation of automatic fire-extinguishing (sprinkler) systems and fire alarm/detection systems in unincorporated Teton County, administered by the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department's Fire and Electrical Division. The Board of County Commissioners has adopted a separate 2024 Fire Code Resolution (2024 International Fire Code plus 2024 International Wildland Urban Interface Code) for the unincorporated county, per the recital text of the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS 2025 Master Fee Schedule (Resolution 25-031). That Master Fee Schedule is explicitly scoped to 'Unincorporated Areas of Teton County outside of the Town of Jackson,' effective January 1, 2026 — the mirror image of the Town of Jackson's own jurisdiction file, where this same schedule is documented as explicitly NOT applying. The County's own Planning & Building 2026 Schedule of Fees corroborates this division of labor directly, stating under Inspection and Review Fees: 'Fire sprinkler and alarm systems: Contact Jackson Hole Fire/EMS for permits and fees.' Separately, the County's own Building Codes Resolution requires all structures 5,000 sq ft or larger, regardless of occupancy, to be protected by an approved automatic fire sprinkler system (Section 903.2 amendment).

Tips

  • The 2025 Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Master Fee Schedule (Resolution 25-031) governs HERE — unincorporated Teton County outside the Town of Jackson — the opposite of the Town of Jackson's own jurisdiction file, where this same schedule is documented as explicitly not applying and the Town's Resolution 25-18 governs instead. Do not swap the two fee schedules between files.
  • The Town of Jackson's jurisdiction file documents a separate $18.00 'For each Fire Sprinkler System' line item under its own municipal Plumbing Permit fee table (JMC 15.24.030). No equivalent county Plumbing Permit line item for fire sprinkler system tie-ins was found in the County's own 2026 Schedule of Fees Plumbing Permit Fees table during this research — omitted rather than assumed to also apply in the unincorporated county.
