Cheyenne Wyoming Building Permit Guide

Cheyenne homeowners should check Building Permitting and Licensing before starting new construction, additions, remodels, repairs, reroofing, decks, garages, pools, water heaters, or trade work.

Permit takeaway

Cheyenne Building Permitting and Licensing handles plan review and inspection services for building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical construction, with applications and inspections moving through OpenGov.

Zoning and placement

Planning, development, engineering, right-of-way, and accessory-structure placement questions should be checked separately from the building permit review.

Building and trade review

The city FAQ lists permits as generally required for new buildings, additions, residential work such as decks and garages, renovations, electrical systems, plumbing systems, and HVAC systems.
