What the report says about zoning in Natrona County

Home occupation permit required:: Conditional
Details:: State Food Freedom Act (§11-49-103) exempts cottage food from state licensure, permitting, and inspection. However, Natrona County has a Home Occupation Permit requirement for home-based businesses, and the City of Casper may require zoning compliance. Producers should verify with Natrona County and City of Casper Community Development for any home occupation permit requirements. No specific cottage food exemption from local zoning found.
Home kitchen:: All homemade foods including TCS (potentially hazardous) foods allowed. Non-TCS foods may be sold through third-party vendors and retail shops. TCS foods (except eggs and dairy) must be sold by the producer or designated agent directly to informed end consumers. Cannot exceed $250,000 gross revenue or 250,000 individual products annually. Sales must occur within Wyoming (no interstate commerce).
