AMD proposals would need a $395 pre-application conference
Teton County is considering a required pre-application conference for LDR text amendments, adding a $395 early step meant to improve draft proposals before formal review.
A landowner or resident who wants to propose a county Land Development Regulation text amendment would first have to sit down with planning staff for a pre-application conference, currently priced at $395, under AMD2026-0002. The point, according to the Planning Commission staff report, is to catch weak drafting, technical problems, or conflicts with county priorities before a formal amendment starts consuming hearing time and staff review.
