USE AND DEVELOPMENT PERMITS: This application form is for commercial buildings, commercial remodels, and tenant
improvements. Please note, depending on the use and size of building, a Development Plan, Sketch Plan, Basic Use or
Conditional Use Permit may be required. A building permit plan review cannot be done concurrently with a Development
Plan, Sketch Plan or Conditional Use Permit review. Please speak
t
o a Planner if you have any questions regarding use and
development permits.
Please indicate any Use or Development Permits obtained for this project, including the date(s) of approval. If you are processing
applications concurrently, indicate that approval is pending.

WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE: If a property is located within the Wildland Urban Interface, a Wildland Assessment is required prior
to submitting the building permit application. Contact the Fire Marshall at 307-733-4732 to arrange a meeting. The IWUIC
application is available online at https://www.tetoncountywy.gov/671/WUI-Information-for-Contractors
.
Is the property located in the Wildland Urban Interface?
FLOODPLAIN: See County Floodplain Management Resolution and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), which are available on
the County GIS Map Server https://maps.greenwoodmap.com/tetonwy/mapserver/.
If located outside of Flood Hazard Zone X,
a Floodplain Development Permit is required and may be processed concurrently with the Building Permit application.
What is the property’s Flood Zone Designation? Check all that apply:

Other
(please
identify):
If the designation is not Zone X, have you submitted a Flood Plain Development Permit Application to Engineering?
GRA
DING: A separate Grading & Erosion Control application is required when the proposed land disturbances exceed the below
thresholds. If a Plan level application is required, a Pre-Application Conference is required prior to application submittal. Identify the
area of disturbance in each slope category:
SMALL
WASTEWATER SYSTEM: There is a separate application for septic systems and sewer connections. All habitable structures
must have an approved small wastewater (septic) permit, town sewer hookup permit, or other wastewater facility approved by
the
County Engineer’s Office before a building permit will be issued.
WETLANDS
AND WATERBODIES: Wetlands,
waterbodies,
and associated setbacks are required to be shown on the site plan. County
regulations may prohibit development in a wetland or waterbody and associated setback, except under specific circumstances. A
permit may be obtained for a limited amount of wetland disturbance. Contact the Planning Office for further clarification. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers regulates the placement of dredged and fill material into wetlands and other waters of the United
Sta
tes as
authorized pri
marily by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). It is the landowner’s responsibility to
cont
act the Corps
prior to placing any fill in waters of the U.S. Information on Section 404 requirements can be obtained by
contac
ting the Wyoming
Regulatory Office at (307) 772-2300 or by visiting its website at www.nwo.usace.army.mil.
