🧾 Zoning Overhaul: All of Teton County Now Under NRO
A major zoning update has placed 100% of Teton County under the Natural Resources Overlay (NRO). All properties, regardless of location, must now undergo an environmental review when applying for a development permit.
Parcels are classified into Base, Mid, and High Tier, with increasing levels of ecological scrutiny. This shift is expected to affect about 25% of the 1,288 vacant rural lots.
🏞️ Land Ownership Trends
- Of 1,052 vacant lots under 35 acres, 33% are held by neighboring owners for visual/privacy protection.
- Of 231 larger lots (35+ acres), 38% are owned by four local families.
- Nine vacant lots went under contract in Q1—up 125%, including two priced over $10M.
📌 Bottom Line: The Jackson Hole real estate market remains highly active in early 2025, especially for luxury homes, while zoning reforms and sky-high land prices may limit future development and affordability. Locals hoping to move up the property ladder face increasingly steep hurdles.
