Short answer: When the county sells real property for delinquent taxes, the buyer receives a certificate of purchase. Wyo. Stat. § 39-13-108(e)
| Property tax sales | When the county sells real property for delinquent taxes, the buyer receives a certificate of purchase. A tax deed to a private certificate holder may be issued only for unredeemed property, and only between four and six years after the original tax sale; before applying, the holder must serve notice at least three months in advance on the occupant and the person in whose name the property was taxed (or publish it if they cannot be found), stating when the redemption period will expire. If the county holds the certificate, it records a tax deed after four years, with at least 60 days' notice to the owner and mortgagees. Source: Wyo. Stat. § 39-13-108(e) |
