Developer Resources
The Teton County and Town of Jackson Land Development Regulations (LDRs) require that a housing mitigation plan is submitted with each application. Please contact the Housing Department if you have questions or need help with your Housing Mitigation Plan: 307-732-0867, housing@tetoncountywy.gov
Housing Mitigation Requirements
Affordable & Workforce housing requirements are calculated using the "Affordable Housing Mitigation Requirement Calculator" (linked below). The Calculator is a downloadable Excel Workbook. This workbook is being updated regularly. Please redownload the document each time you use it to ensure you have the most up to date version.

Independent Calculation
Some developments are required or allowed to submit an Independent Calculation instead of calculating based on the LDRs. If you are submitting an Independent Calculation, you need to either be (1) required to by the LDRs or (2) be able to supply local data, analysis, or other supporting materials that provide competent substantial evidence that supports the proposed modification. Please see Section 6.3 of the Land Development Regulations for the Town of Jackson or Teton County for more information.
In Lieu Fees
When the requirement calculation is less than an entire housing unit or when a developer can demonstrate that providing a unit is impractical, a fee in lieu of providing units may be paid.
The fee in lieu amounts are calculated annually by the Planning Department.
The Housing Department is updating its restriction templates—legal documents attached to properties with Workforce or Affordable housing—to reflect:
- New Housing Department Rules and Regulations (updated December 2024)
- Feedback from users (e.g. attorneys, developers, lenders)
- General clean-up and clarification
These templates are essential to ensuring homes designated as Affordable or Workforce remain that way in perpetuity, providing consistent administration and clarity for all parties.
What is in this update?
Changes to templates are driven by:
- Cleanup – Formatting, clarity, and ease of use.
- Rule Changes – Aligning templates with updated 2024 Housing Department rules.
- Outside Requests – Incorporating helpful feedback from professionals who use these templates regularly.
All changes to restriction templates under consideration currently are presented as in-line tracked changes and are linked below. A summary “cheat sheet” is also linked below to help navigate this review.
- Affordable Rental Restriction - draft Oct. 2025
- Affordable Ownership Restriction - draft Oct. 2025
- Workforce Rental Restriction - draft Oct. 2025
- Workforce Ownership Restriction - draft Oct. 2025
- Restriction Template Cleanup Cheat Sheet
The draft templates for consideration are intended to suit the most typical restricted housing types: Affordable Rental, Affordable Ownership, Workforce Rental, and Workforce Ownership. These templates may be adjusted for use in the Housing Preservation Program, Deed Restriction Purchase Program on New Construction, ARU Program, or for banking mitigation units as indicated.
Proposed changes are not retroactive to any restrictions already recorded with the Teton County Clerk.
