How Wyoming Tax Liens Work
Wyoming is a tax lien state, meaning when property owners fail to pay their property taxes, the county sells tax lien certificates to investors rather than the property itself. As an investor in Wyoming tax liens, you pay the delinquent taxes and earn 15% annual interest when the property owner redeems.
Wyoming Redemption Period
Property owners in Wyoming have 48 months to redeem their tax lien by paying the delinquent taxes plus 15% interest. If the owner doesn't redeem within this period, you may be able to foreclose and potentially acquire the property.
