Harley Wilcox Keeps Showing Up In Teton County's Planning Record

Harley Wilcox is not just another realtor commenting from the sidelines. The public record places him as a former Teton County commissioner, an active broker/developer, an applicant for a county code change, a later subdivision applicant, and a recurring voice in planning fights. Anthony Wilcox also appears in the 2024 planning record, but in the material I verified his role is narrower.

Harley Wilcox is easy to place in both public office and private real estate

Teton County's FY2020 financial statements list Harley Wilcox as Commissioner for District #2. His current brokerage page, by contrast, presents him as a developer, investor, and builder working through West Group Real Estate in the Teton Valley and Jackson Hole markets.

That matters because the public record does not show a random citizen occasionally attending meetings. It shows a former county official now operating on the land-and-development side of the same region.

He was not only commenting on zoning; he was an applicant for changing it

The official June 8, 2021 Planning and Zoning hearing record identifies Harley Wilcox as the applicant for a land-use-table code amendment involving residential uses in the M-1 Industrial/Manufacturing zone. The county also has a recorded ordinance file named Wilcox-Repealed.pdf tied to that M-1 change.

That matters because it puts Wilcox directly inside the rule-changing lane, not just the public-comment lane.

He kept reappearing in later planning records on project-specific matters

An official October 10, 2023 Planning and Zoning record says Harley Wilcox requested scenic-corridor review for placement of five lots in Alpine Acres Subdivision. That is a very different posture from general civic commentary; it is development-specific participation.

That matters because it shows continuity. The public trail is not one old county-office record and then silence. It is a continuing presence across multiple planning cycles.

Anthony Wilcox does show up, but the verified role is narrower

The strongest official record I found for Anthony Wilcox is the May 14, 2024 Planning and Zoning meeting, where both Anthony Wilcox and Harley Wilcox are listed as speaking in opposition during public comment. That is enough to place Anthony in a public planning dispute, but not enough to build the same depth of profile I now have for Harley.

So the honest line is this: Harley Wilcox has a broader document trail across officeholding, brokerage, development, and planning proceedings. Anthony Wilcox is in the record, but on the material I verified, he is still a narrower figure.

What this story does and does not claim

I am not claiming I proved illegal self-dealing, bribery, or an undisclosed planning-and-zoning conspiracy by Harley Wilcox. The verified story is more grounded than that: a former commissioner turned active realtor/developer keeps appearing in official land-use records on the private side.

That alone matters in a county where public-land sales, subdivision fights, and planning battles are already tied up with concentrated land ownership and local political networks.
