Unincorporated Uinta County, Wyoming has adopted: NO countywide building code and NO general building permit for private construction in unincorporated Uinta County. Per the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office 'LOCAL AND STATE JURISDICTIONS' chart (updated 7/7/2026, re-verified 2026-07-17), Uinta County at the county (unincorporated) level shows BLDG INSP/PR = S/S and ELEC INSP/PR = S/S — the county has NOT taken general building-permit delegation under W.S. § 35-9-121; the State of Wyoming retains building and electrical jurisdiction over private construction in the unincorporated county.; CONFIRMED against the county's own site: Uinta County's 'Land Use / Building Permits' page (title notwithstanding) describes only a Land Use Certificate/Use Certificate process under the Uinta County Land Use Plan Resolution 23-02 (adopted under W.S. Title 18, Chapter 5, § 18-5-201) — a zoning/land-use approval, NOT an IBC/IRC construction permit with plan review and building inspections.; Uinta County Resolution 24-44 (Nov 2024) repeals the 2006 International Fire Code and adopts the 2024 'ICC-Codes' International Building Code text — but this is done under the county's DELEGATED FIRE-PREVENTION authority (W.S. § 35-9-121, 'Council for Fire Prevention', county acting 'as the delegated authority of the State Fire Marshal/Director') for fire-code enforcement purposes, not a general building-permit-issuing delegation for private construction. This is consistent with the WSFM chart's BLDG INSP/PR = S/S classification for the county.; Electrical work in unincorporated Uinta County is NOT locally regulated — per the WSFM chart (ELEC INSP/PR = S/S) electrical permitting/inspection is performed by the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (Chief Electrical Inspector) under the state's default statewide electrical program (W.S. § 35-9-119).. Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Uinta County overview page for the full list.
