City business license guides
The Wyoming Business Council's FAQ says necessary permits and licenses are issued by the city or county where the work or business will be located. These guides cover the largest cities, using each city's own published rules and fees.
- Cheyenne (Laramie County): The City of Cheyenne says a license or permit is required to conduct business in the city, for permanent places of business and for temporary vendors, and that you cannot operate until a required license is issued and inspections are done.
- Casper (Natrona County): The City of Casper requires a business license only for the business types on its list, each with its own fee and term.
- Laramie (Albany County): The City of Laramie says it does not currently require a general business license.
- Gillette (Campbell County): Gillette's City Clerk issues licenses and permits for specific activities, including liquor licenses, taxi cab business licenses, catering, door-to-door solicitors, itinerant vendors, mobile food vendors, special events and structure moving.
- Rock Springs (Sweetwater County): Rock Springs requires a Business License Application filed with and approved by the City Clerk's Office whenever someone advertises or represents that they conduct business in the city, or holds a government license showing they are in business there.
- Sheridan (Sheridan County): The City of Sheridan's City Clerk page says the City of Sheridan does not issue business licenses.
- Jackson (Teton County): The Town of Jackson says anyone who conducts business within Town limits needs a business license, whether they work from a commercial space or from home, and even if they live in the county but do business in town.

Two county mix-ups to avoid
The city of Laramie is in Albany County, while Laramie County's seat is Cheyenne. And Rock Springs, the largest city in Sweetwater County, is not the county seat; the Sweetwater County Clerk is in Green River.
Statewide rules that apply in every Wyoming county
- Your LLC or corporation is filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State, not the county. The state fee is $100 for Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation.
- Trade names are registered with the Secretary of State under W.S. 40-2-101 through 40-2-111 for $100, not with a county clerk.
- Retail liquor sales are licensed by incorporated cities and towns inside their limits and by counties outside them (W.S. 12-4-101).
- Business personal property is listed with the county assessor each year by March 1; a written request by February 15 extends the date to April 1 (W.S. 39-13-107).
- The annual report and license tax ($60 minimum) are due on or before the first day of your company's anniversary month every year.
- Every Wyoming company keeps a registered agent at a Wyoming street address. Ours is $199 per year.
