Wyoming Surplus Funds Laws

How mortgage foreclosure surplus, tax sale surplus and unclaimed funds work in Wyoming.

General information only, not legal advice. Laws and county procedures change, and local rules may differ. Confirm the current rules with the court, county or a licensed attorney before acting. Last updated: November 2026.

Mortgage foreclosure surplus

Wyo. Stat. § 34-4-113(a)–(c) directly governs mortgage foreclosure sale proceeds: expenses, foreclosed mortgage, junior liens, then surplus to the mortgagor on demand or through unclaimed-property procedures. Section 34-4-113 states no fixed initial mortgagor demand deadline. The 30-day period in subsection (b) concerns a junior lienholder’s demand after service of sale results, not the owner’s deadline.

Tax sale surplus

Wyo. Stat. § 39-13-108(d)(iii)–(iv) governs judicial foreclosure of a property-tax lien and payment of sale proceeds; § 39-13-108(e) separately governs tax-lien certificates and administrative tax deeds, which may create no cash surplus. After judicial tax-lien foreclosure, persons holding prior interests may claim the balance within two years after court confirmation; legal disability gets one year after removal (§ 39-13-108(d)(iv)(C)). Redemption before confirmation is separate.

Unclaimed funds

Wyoming Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-24-101 et seq.; § 34-24-125 governs owner claims to the State Treasurer. Section 34-24-125 sets no fixed general initial owner-claim cutoff. If denied, judicial review under § 34-24-127 must be brought within 90 days of decision, or 180 days after filing if the administrator fails to act.
