County to implement Fast Track Permits Act for smaller homes July 1

Teton County’s Board of County Commissioners will get an implementation update June 22 on how Planning and Building plans to comply with Wyoming’s new Fast Track Permits Act starting July 1 for qualifying residential building permits, including detached one- or two-family homes and townhouses up to 3,000 sq ft per unit Fast Track Permits packet.

The law sets a hard procedural clock. Staff told commissioners the county must send applicants written notice within 10 business days on whether an application is complete, then approve or deny a completed application within 30 calendar days, with limited “clock-stop” options. If the county misses the deadline, the application is “deemed approved as submitted,” even though inspections still apply before a certificate of occupancy. The board is not scheduled for a formal vote on the rollout, but commissioners can use the discussion to push for guardrails before the July 1 effective date.
