Building code

Small Wyoming municipalities may or may not have formally adopted an IBC/IRC edition; some operate under basic ordinance standards only. The Wyoming State Electrical Code applies statewide regardless of local code adoption.

Contractor requirements

No Wyoming state general contractor license is required. Electrical work must comply with the Wyoming State Electrical Code and be performed by a Wyoming-licensed electrician.

1. 01
   Verify that the project address is within the incorporated limits of the Town of Marbleton and not within the adjacent Town of Big Piney or in unincorporated Sublette County.

2. 02
   Call (307) 276-3533 to identify the current process, which town employee handles building permits, what forms are required, the current fee schedule, and what inspections are required.

3. 03
   Pick up the building permit application at Town Hall; download may be available on the website.

4. 04
   Provide a site plan showing lot boundaries and dimensions, proposed structure location, setback distances from all property lines and road rights-of-way, utility locations, and access. A survey or Location Certificate may be required for setback verification; confirm with the town.

5. 05
   Prepare construction drawings appropriate to the project type. At Marbleton's elevation (approximately 6,850 ft), design ground snow load is in the range of 40 to 60 psf; frost depth is approximately 36 to 48 inches. Structural drawings should be prepared by a qualified designer to address these conditions. Confirm specific local requirements with the town or a local structural engineer.

6. 06
   Deliver completed application, site plan, construction documents, and fee to Town Hall in person.

7. 07
   Town staff (Town Clerk or Building Official) review for zoning and code compliance and issue the permit upon approval.

8. 08
   Coordinate required inspection scheduling with the town (see Inspections section below).
