Town of Moorcroft

Building permits must be obtained at Town Hall before beginning any building project. Permit is required for new construction, additions, and likely significant alterations/remodels (confirm scope with Building Inspector)

• Exempt Owner-builder exemption: It is unclear whether owner-builders performing their own work are exempt from the contractor licensing requirement. Confirm with Town Hall.

Note: Contractor licenses must be renewed each January. Lapsed licenses mean the contractor is not authorized to work in Moorcroft until renewed.

Specific edition not confirmed from publicly accessible sources. Given Moorcroft's active building permit program, it is likely they reference or adopt a version of the IRC/IBC; confirm with Building Inspector Jeff Holberg or Town Hall at (307) 756-3526.
