What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Laramie County carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Cheyenne. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionCity of Cheyenne permits go through OpenGov, with separate roofing and trade applications
The City of Cheyenne's Building Safety Division takes permit applications through its OpenGov portal: residential building, roofing, plumbing, mechanical or electrical, demolition, grading and right-of-way encroachment permits each have their own application. Applications must be signed and submitted with fees for review.
Laramie County runs a separate building department for county permits. Practical step: confirm whether the property is inside Cheyenne city limits, then ask the matching office about permits. Because Cheyenne has a separate roofing permit, ask about it when a seller advertises a new roof. Demolition requirements and a grading fee schedule are posted, and City offices are at 2101 O'Neil Ave. Grading, right-of-way encroachment and access applications are separate from the building permit itself.
Laramie County veterans' exemption: three years of residency and an in-person visit
The Laramie County Assessor explains Wyoming's veterans' exemption, administered by the County under state statute. Veterans must have been Wyoming residents for at least three years and hold a DD-214, and either served in a qualifying conflict with an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal or equivalent, or have a certified compensable service-connected disability. Each veteran must appear in person.
The exemption can apply to real estate or vehicles, and surviving spouses may continue it if they stay in Wyoming and do not remarry. Practical step: new Cheyenne residents should check when they reach three years before applying. The former $800 lifetime maximum was removed effective January 1, 2007.
