Welcome to another episode of AskAlHow. This video is part of my series where I explain the methods and procedure for Tax Sales in each state. In this post, I will discuss Wyoming Tax Sales.

This post features WyomingTax Sales Explained, A video posted on YouTube on April 19, 2020.

Wyoming Tax Sales Explained

Wyoming has 23 counties and is a lien state. In Wyoming, there’s a 15% interest plus a 3% penalty. The redemption period is four years. From the lien investment perspective, Wyoming is one of the top states. it is a consistent moneymaker. the bid process is Random Selection. When you add all that together you have a recipe for success.

 

A Word on Radom Selection

The only problem with random selection is you may not get the lien you want. The bidder selection method varies. Many times the county uses ping pong balls or a similar method to choose bidders. if you want to know more about Radom selection then check out this post.
 
The other good news is that you will get 18% regardless. So as long as you’ve done your due diligence you should be okay.

The Laws Have Changed

Many websites, books, and even county sites quote Wyoming Statutes incorrectly. The statutes I am talking about are 39-3-108, and 39-4-102. In the late 1990s,’ the state of Wyoming repealed these laws. Later in this post, I will give you access to the up to date laws.
 

Timing.

Wyoming tax sales for lien certificates occur during the months of July and August. All Wyoming tax lien certificate auctions happen on location.

Other Wyoming Tax Sale Rules

Certificate holders must foreclose on the property prior to the 6-year mark. Now that being said, if our lien holder I certainly would not be waiting for six years, at the four year anniversary I would start foreclosure proceedings immediately. Unsold Tax liens may be purchased on a first come first serve basis from the county.

To me, this is one of the better states to do business with. Seems to me you’re going to make some money no matter what and at the worst option you might get yourself a ranch up at the top of the country. I give these guys a 4 out of 5

Tax Sales investing is a niche that has the potential to be insanely profitable.

However, most investors do not have a deep understanding of this investing strategy.

Every state has a unique set of rules and regulations. There are some basic rules you need to understand as to how the process works. Generally, states will fall into one of three categories:

  • Tax Lien States
  • Tax Deed States
  • Hybrid States

Hybrids are states who conduct their tax sales by selling tax deeds with a caveat. The deeds have a redemption period much like a tax lien certificate.
