Permitting metal buildings in Laramie County
Permits
- The county has adopted building codes with permits and inspections.
- Since December 2025, one-story detached accessory buildings up to 400 sq ft are exempt; anything larger needs a permit. Setbacks still apply either way.
Post-frame buildings
- Residential post-frame buildings that don’t follow the County Pole Barn Construction Guide need site-specific plans stamped by a Wyoming design professional.
- Some agricultural buildings have exceptions; the county confirms them case by case.
Land use
- Each parcel gets one principal home plus customary accessory buildings; agricultural buildings aren’t counted against that.
- No structure can sit in an access, drainage or utility easement.
In Laramie County, a pole barn follows the guide or gets a stamp. Post-frame buildings outside the county’s construction guide need site-specific engineering. Our buildings come engineered and stamped for your site, so they clear that bar either way.
