Updated September 3, 2026. Quick answer: $100,000 in value for every Wyoming resident, exempt from execution and attachment for a debt, contract, or civil obligation.
This is protection against an ordinary money judgment creditor under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-20-101, a different question from a property tax bill or exemption, which this page does not cover.
How it works in Wyoming
- Filing rule not addressed in the cited source. Confirm with a local attorney or your county recorder before relying on this being automatic.
- Married couples and joint owners: Each co-owner who jointly owns and occupies the same residence gets their own $100,000 exemption. On death, a surviving spouse or minor children inherit the homestead; without such a survivor it becomes liable for the deceased’s debts.
What it does not protect against
The purchase-money debt for the property itself; the exemption also requires bona fide Wyoming residency.

Verbatim from Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-20-101: “Every resident of the state is entitled to a homestead not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in value, exempt from execution and attachment arising from any debt, contract or civil obligation entered into or incurred.” Read the full official text before relying on any figure here. Exemption law is fact-specific, and this is a source-backed planning guide, not individualized legal advice.
