Roofing permits & building code in Cheyenne

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Cheyenne are set locally by City of Cheyenne - Building Permitting & Licensing Division. Wyoming issues no state roofing or general-contractor licence — the state licenses electrical contractors, but none of the professions licensed under Title 33 of the Wyoming Statutes is a construction trade — so any roofing credential is a city or county one, and several cities and counties run their own contractor licensing, while the state’s building and fire standards cover the government, larger public and assembly buildings listed in W.S. 35-9-108, a list that does not include a private house, so the code that governs a house is the one the city or county has adopted itself, and a city or county that takes over enforcement from the State Fire Marshal under W.S. 35-9-121 must adopt standards equivalent to or more stringent than the state’s — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.
