WY HB0002

Local governments must notify applicants within 10 business days whether a residential building permit application is complete or incomplete, specifying what information is missing

Completed applications must be approved or denied within 30 calendar days, with the deadline suspended when awaiting clarification or state/federal agency approvals

Applications automatically deemed approved if the 30-day deadline lapses without action, though buildings must still pass all safety and code inspections before occupancy

Local governments imposing new requirements after initial approval must reduce permit fees by 10%, unless requirements stem from unanticipated site conditions

Applies to dwellings of 1-2 units, no more than 3 stories, with maximum 3,000 square feet per unit, regulated under the International Residential Code; effective July 1, 2026
