Changes to the Natural Resources Overlay (NRO) Zoning
Teton County has recently updated its Natural Resources Overlay (NRO) regulations, and one of the most significant changes is that the entire county is now included within the NRO. Previously, only certain environmentally sensitive areas were subject to NRO requirements, but this expansion means that every property—regardless of location—will now go through a form of environmental review when seeking a development permit. The goal is to create a more consistent and transparent process that takes into account wildlife, habitat, and other ecological factors at a countywide level.
