Frequently asked questions
Does Wyoming have a statewide plumber license?
No. Wyoming is one of the few states with no state-level plumbing licensing program at all. Plumbers are licensed (where licensing is required) by individual cities and counties, not by any state agency.
Which Wyoming state agency handles plumbing licensing?
None. The Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety) licenses electricians and limited electrical technicians at the state level, but it has no plumbing credential — plumbing regulation in Wyoming stops at the local level.
How do I find out if I need a plumber license where I want to work in Wyoming?
Contact the city or county government for the specific jurisdiction. Examples of municipalities that license plumbers include the City of Cheyenne (via its Contractor Licensing Board) and the City of Casper (via its Community Development Department); many smaller towns and rural counties may not license the trade at all.
If I'm licensed as a plumber in one Wyoming city, can I work in another Wyoming city without a new license?
Not automatically. Since there is no statewide license or state-level reciprocity system, each municipality that licenses plumbing sets its own rules for recognizing licenses issued elsewhere, so you generally need to check with each jurisdiction where you plan to work.
