Updated September 5, 2026. Quick answer: Wyoming’s condo statute is only four sections long and doesn’t itself give a board or association the power to levy a special assessment; it just confirms that whatever assessment obligations a declaration imposes run with the land, so the approval mechanism, if any vote is required at all, is entirely a creature of each project’s declaration.
Key statute: Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104 (Wyoming Condominium Ownership Act); Wyoming has no dedicated statute for non-condominium homeowners associations
How Wyoming lets an association approve it
Wyo. Stat. § 34-20-104(c) provides only that “[t]o the extent that any such declaration shall contain a mandatory requirement that all condominium unit owners shall be members of an association or corporation, or provide for the payment of charges assessed by the association upon condominium units… the same shall be considered as covenants running with the land binding upon all condominium owners and their successors in interest.” The statute does not create, describe, or condition the association’s power to levy a special assessment, nor set any vote threshold; that comes entirely from the declaration. There is no separate Wyoming HOA statute for non-condo subdivisions at all.
The notice you’re owed
Silent. Nothing in Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-20-101 to -104 requires any notice to owners before or when a special assessment is imposed.
Paying it: plan, interest, and late fees
Silent. The Act contains no installment-payment right and no interest-rate or late-fee provision for delinquent assessments.
Does Wyoming require a reserve study?
No. Having read all four sections of the Act in full, the definitions section (§ 34-20-103), the recognition-of-condominium-ownership section (§ 34-20-102), and the tax/recording/covenants section (§ 34-20-104), plus the short-title section, none imposes a reserve-study or reserve-fund requirement.
Honest gaps
Wyoming’s is one of the thinnest condominium statutes in the country (four sections total, none of which independently define assessment or special assessment) and has no counterpart HOA/common-interest-community act for non-condo subdivisions; nearly every topic asked about here (approval mechanism, notice, payment terms, reserves, and lien rights) is left entirely to each association’s declaration and, for incorporated associations, the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act (Title 17, Ch. 19), which we did not independently review. The Act creates no statutory assessment lien at all: § 34-20-104(a)’s only lien language concerns ordinary ad valorem property tax liens on individual units, not an association’s lien for unpaid assessments, which is why the lien note is omitted rather than filled with an inapplicable quote. The official wyoleg.gov statute PDF could not be read directly, so the quoted text was read from the codes.findlaw.com codified mirror.

General information drawn from each state’s own statutes as read at its official legislature or code-publisher site (or a verbatim codified mirror where noted), not legal advice. Special-assessment law is state law, and every association’s own declaration and bylaws add rules on top of the statutory floor described here. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
