Wyoming has no comprehensive HOA statute at all — not even a general resale-disclosure requirement for condominiums, let alone non-condo HOAs. Non-condo associations are organized and governed entirely under the general Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-19-101 et seq., plus their recorded declaration and bylaws. There's no dedicated "Homeowners Association Act" to point to in Wyoming law — every rule affecting a Wyoming HOA comes from general nonprofit corporation law, the community's own declaration, or ordinary contract and property law.

Fines: what your HOA can and can't charge

No Wyoming statute specifically authorizes, caps, or sets a hearing procedure for HOA fines. Fine authority, amount, and process come entirely from your declaration and bylaws, with the Nonprofit Corporation Act's general member due-process rules the only statutory backstop.

See our guide on how to fight an HOA fine for the general playbook.

Unpaid assessments, liens, and foreclosure

Wyoming has no statutory HOA assessment-lien right — any lien and its priority over a first mortgage are entirely a matter of contract, created by the declaration itself. Wyoming courts have treated this as fundamentally contractual: in American Holidays, Inc. v. Foxtail Owners Ass'n, 1991 WY 156, the Wyoming Supreme Court confirmed that HOA lien priority in the state rests on what the declaration actually says, not on any statutory super-lien right. Wyoming generally allows non-judicial foreclosure for properly drafted trust deeds, but whether a bare HOA lien can use that process depends entirely on how the declaration is drafted — judicial foreclosure is the safer assumption absent a clear power-of-sale grant.

More on this in our guide to what happens if you don't pay HOA dues.

Meetings and quorum

The Nonprofit Corporation Act's defaults apply where bylaws are silent: meeting notice must generally go out 10 to 60 days ahead, and unless your bylaws set a different number, default quorum is 10% of the votes entitled to be cast.

Board elections

No Wyoming statute addresses HOA-specific board-election procedures, candidate eligibility, or removal; these are bylaws matters, backstopped by the Nonprofit Corporation Act's general director rules.

Buying a home in a Wyoming HOA

Wyoming has no resale-certificate or HOA-specific disclosure statute of any kind — for condos or non-condo HOAs alike. Buyers have no statutory right to a standardized disclosure package before closing.

Know before you buy: with no disclosure statute to fall back on, request the HOA's dues history, current financials, and any pending special assessments directly from the association or its management company — and get it in writing before you make an offer.

This guide covers general Wyoming law affecting homeowners associations as of 2026, including the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-19-101 et seq., and is for general education only — it isn't legal advice. Wyoming has no comprehensive statute specific to homeowners associations, so most rules come from your community's own declaration and bylaws. For anything binding, talk to a Wyoming HOA attorney.
