Wyoming HOA Law Changes 2021–2025: What Every Board Needs to Know

<h2>Overview of Wyoming HOA Law Changes 2021–2025</h2>

<p>Wyoming community associations are governed by the Wyoming Horizontal Property Act (Wyo. Stat. § 34-20-101 et seq.) for condominiums and Wyoming common interest community statutes for planned community HOAs. Between 2021 and 2025, Wyoming enacted several updates — electronic meeting and voting authority, solar energy rights, pre-lien notice and financial transparency requirements, EV charging protections, and fine due process reform. Here is a session-by-session breakdown.</p>

<h2>2021 Legislative Session</h2>

<h3>HB 108 — Electronic Meeting and Voting Authority</h3>

<p>HB 108 amended Wyoming's Horizontal Property Act and common interest community statutes to authorize electronic delivery of all required notices and to permit board meetings and unit owner meetings to be conducted by video or telephone conference. Remote participation counts toward quorum. Boards must adopt a written electronic meeting policy before the first electronic meeting. The policy must specify how remote participants are identified on the meeting record, how votes are counted, and how the meeting is documented. Wyoming associations should collect written electronic consent forms from members and update their notice procedures to take advantage of electronic delivery authorization.</p>

<h3>SF 120 — Solar Energy Rights</h3>

<p>SF 120 added Wyo. Stat. § 34-20-115, prohibiting Wyoming homeowners associations from adopting or enforcing any covenant, condition, or restriction that prohibits the installation of solar energy systems. Associations may impose placement standards — for example, requiring rear-facing panel installation where achieving at least 90% of maximum output — provided those standards do not increase the cost of installation by more than 5% or reduce the system's energy output by more than 10%. Wyoming's high solar resource availability makes this protection increasingly relevant as residential solar adoption grows. Boards should audit governing documents and adopt compliant solar installation guidelines before receiving the first member installation request.</p>

<h2>2023 Legislative Session</h2>

<h3>HB 188 — Assessment Collections — Pre-Lien Notice</h3>

<p>HB 188 established a 30-day pre-lien notice requirement for Wyoming common interest community associations. Before recording an assessment lien, the association must send a cure notice by certified mail itemizing all amounts due — principal assessments, late fees, and interest — and informing the owner of the right to cure within 30 days. Attorney fees and additional collection costs may not be added to the delinquency until after the cure period expires without payment. Wyoming boards should update their management agreements and collections policies to include the certified mail cure notice as a mandatory prerequisite to lien filing.</p>

<h3>SF 141 — HOA Financial Transparency</h3>

<p>SF 141 required Wyoming homeowners associations with 15 or more lots to provide members with an annual financial disclosure within 120 days of fiscal year end. The disclosure must include a balance sheet showing year-end assets and liabilities and an income statement comparing actual revenues and expenses to the adopted budget. Financial records — including bank statements, vendor contracts, and the management agreement — must be made available for member inspection within 10 business days of a written request. Wyoming boards that have been providing only adopted annual budgets to members must significantly expand their annual financial disclosures to comply with this requirement.</p>

<h2>2025 Legislative Session</h2>

<h3>HB 244 — EV Charging Rights</h3>

<p>HB 244 prohibited Wyoming homeowners associations and condominium associations from restricting the installation of EV charging equipment in an owner's assigned parking space. Associations may require licensed electrician installation, prior written board approval within 60 days of a complete application, and owner-maintained liability insurance for the equipment. Associations may not deny compliant requests without documented structural, electrical capacity, or safety cause. Wyoming boards should adopt written EV charging installation policies specifying the application process, required documentation, and approval timeline.</p>

<h3>SF 312 — Fine Due Process Reform</h3>

<p>SF 312 required Wyoming community associations to provide written notice of violation and a 14-day opportunity to cure before imposing any fine. The written notice must identify the specific governing document provision alleged to have been violated and describe the observed violation. If the owner requests a hearing within the cure period, the board must schedule the hearing within 21 days of the request. Fines may not exceed $100 per violation per day or $1,000 cumulative per violation incident — lower than the caps in many neighboring states. Wyoming boards whose governing documents specify higher fines must reduce those fines to comply with the statutory caps, which supersede conflicting governing document provisions.</p>

<h2>Board Action Checklist</h2>
