Surplus Funds Law in Wyoming

These statewide rules govern how surplus funds are handled in Laramie County and every other Wyoming county. Verify the current deadline before you file:

Sale type
Tax lien state — liens are sold; surplus arises at later deed/foreclosure stages.
Who holds the funds
The officer making the foreclosure sale (e.g., sheriff/foreclosing mortgagee) pays surplus proceeds on demand to the mortgagor, his legal representatives or assigns (W.S. 34-4-113). Wyoming's property tax sale is a lien sale (certificate of purchase; 4-6 year redemption then tax deed; W.S. 39-13-108) generating no overbid surplus; unclaimed foreclosure surplus escheats to the State Treasurer via the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (W.S. 34-24-101 et seq.).
Finder-fee rules
No statutory percentage or dollar cap on asset-finder/recovery-agent compensation; agreements to recover property reported to the State are unenforceable if made within 24 months after delivery to the State or within 12 months before the holder's scheduled report date, and after the 24-month period are enforceable only if in writing (W.S. 34-24-136).
Local terminology
In Wyoming, surplus funds are often called “surplus proceeds”.
Records law
Wyoming Public Records Act

Statutory summaries are research aids, not legal advice — always verify current law with the Laramie County office or a licensed attorney.
