Before you buy a lot near Wright with a plan in mind, pull up the Gillette zoning map before anything else: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. This Gillette guide covers: who controls zoning for a given parcel, matching a lot to its zoning district, and what to ask the planning staff.
The Gillette zoning map: start here
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, which means a parcel in Gillette is governed there. Outside those limits, near Wright or Sleepy Hollow, county rules apply where they exist; confirm with the county office. The quickest way to tell which applies: look for a city limits layer in the Campbell County Beacon site.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Campbell County Beacon site; it includes every tax parcel around Wright and Sleepy Hollow. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Sleepy Hollow until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For acreage around Sleepy Hollow, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.

If you're looking near Wright, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits out by Wright generally follows county rules instead.
