Online Permitting Process
Building Permits & Miscellaneous (Under 500 Sq. Ft.)
Building Permit applications must be submitted through the Teton County Online Portal. New Residential Construction, Commercial New Construction, and MIS (Under 500 Sq Ft) are still required to have a submission week scheduled through the permit tech.
How To Schedule a Take In Date:
Due to the high volume of calls, we are now requiring people to schedule their own take in date by using our BOOKINGS PAGE to set up a week to submit for Building Permits and Miscellaneous (Under 500 Sq. Ft.) There is no longer physical take in appointments, everything will be done via the new portal. Do not schedule a take in if you are applying for any Re-Roof, Mechanical, Plumbing, Or Demo Permits and instead see the Trade Permit instructions below.
