When you develop a definite plan of action with well-timed, well-informed steps, you can stop
the foreclosure process and save your home. We have outlined the foreclosure process for the
state of Wyoming.
Judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
Non-judicial Foreclosure Available: No
Foreclosure by Advertisement
Wyoming permits the use of a deed of trust which allows foreclosure by advertisement. The
deed of trust names a trustee who will conduct the foreclosure.
Preliminary Notices
Advertising
Notice of the foreclosure must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks in the
newspaper for the county in which the property is located.
Mailing
Notice must be mailed or delivered to the borrower and the occupant at least ten days before
the first publication of ads in the newspapers.
Sale Procedures
Time
The foreclosure sale must take place at public auction between the hours of 9 A.M. and
5 P.M.
Judicial Foreclosure
In judicial foreclosure, the lender forecloses by filing a lawsuit and obtaining a court-ordered
sale. There are no prescribed advertising procedures on court-ordered sales, but they are
usually advertised. The sheriff usually conducts the sale. The sale takes place between
the hours of 10 A.M. and 5 P.M. The sheriff will then issue a certificate of purchase to
the high bidder at public auction.
Deficiency
A lender may sue for a deficiency if there is a note associated with the mortgage or deed
of trust, or it contains a separate covenant to pay.
Redemption
Redemption is permitted.
