Wyoming Community Association Laws
Condominiums (Title 34, Ch. 20), Nonprofit corporate governance (Title 17, Ch. 19), real estate licensing (Title 33, Ch. 28). Reference hub
Wyoming takes a light-touch approach to common-interest communities. There’s no HOA-specific act; most associations run as nonprofit corporations under Title 17, while condominiums have a short, deeds-and-plats-focused chapter in Title 34. That gives boards flexibility but also leans on bylaws and good process (meetings, notices, records). Day-to-day “management” isn’t state-licensed as a separate profession, but leasing/real-estate activity is regulated under Title 33. Bottom line: governance here is document-driven—clear bylaws, clean minutes, and careful notices go a long way.

- Co-ops: No housing-specific statute; typically organized under corporate law.
- Manufactured/Mobile: Landlord-tenant issues via the Residential Rental Property Act; titling via Title 31.
