What you need in Albany County — and what you do not
Wyoming food permit / registration
Not requiredNo Wyoming Department of Agriculture permit or cottage-food registration for the home exemption.
Wyoming's Food Freedom Act allows considerably broader indirect sales than most states. Non-potentially hazardous foods, eggs, and dairy products may be sold through third-party vendors (retail shops, grocery stores) as long as the sale complies with the Act. The third-party seller must inform consumers that the food is not certified, licensed, or inspected, and non-potentially hazardous foods must be displayed separately from licensed products with a label stating 'this food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected and may contain allergens.' Potentially hazardous homemade foods (except eggs/dairy) must be sold by the producer or designated agent only. A 'designated agent' may also facilitate transactions including marketing, transport, storage, and delivery without taking ownership of the product.
Wyo. Stat. §11-49-101 through §11-49-104 (Wyoming Food Freedom Act) →Wyoming routine kitchen inspection
Not requiredNo routine state inspection for the exemption (complaint inspection may still apply).
No routine inspection under Wyoming Food Freedom Act. Home-based food operations exempt from state licensure and inspection.

RequiredA local home occupation or home-based-business approval is required in Albany County.
Albany County requires a Home Business Permit (Section 13 of the Albany County Zoning Resolution) for home-based businesses. The business must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential/agricultural use of the property. City of Laramie additionally requires home occupations to comply with UDC §15.10.030 — conducted entirely within dwelling, up to 50% floor area, no exterior advertising, no off-site employees, no offensive noise/odors. Operators should contact Albany County Planning or City of Laramie Planning Department for current permit applications.

What Albany County publishes for the home cottage-food path
Dollar amounts appear only when we have read them on an official page. If a cell is blank, that office has not published a flat price we can quote. Ask them before you pay. A fee that varies with sales is a percent of receipts (privilege tax / BPOL), not a sticker price. Not MEHKO, commissary, or storefront.
