Wyoming is a non-judicial foreclosure state and one of the fastest in the country — average completion time of approximately 60 to 120 days from notice to sale. Wyoming provides a post-sale right of redemption of 3 to 12 months depending on property type. With markets in Laramie County (Cheyenne), Natrona County (Casper), and resort communities (Teton County/Jackson Hole), Wyoming offers foreclosure inventory across an energy and tourism economy state with no state income tax.
Wyoming uses non-judicial power-of-sale foreclosure under Wyo. Stat. § 34-4-101 et seq. The trustee publishes notice in a local newspaper for 4 consecutive weeks and posts notice at the courthouse. The sale is held at the county courthouse or another public location. Full cash payment required at or shortly after the sale.
Redemption Period: Wyoming provides a post-sale right of redemption — 3 months for most properties, up to 12 months for agricultural properties. The prior owner can reclaim the property within this window by paying your purchase price plus interest and costs. Factor the redemption period into your carrying cost analysis.
