Albany County tax lien sales, Wyoming
Verified
Albany County publishes the most detailed buyer conduct rules of the five counties. A buyer who leaves the room forfeits their number, there is no trading between buyers once a purchase is accepted, and no reassignments are allowed on the sale date. Certificate holders may not contact the property owner, and all correspondence goes through the Albany County Treasurer, who keeps the original certificate of purchase and mails a copy to the buyer. The county published a 2025 Tax Sale Listing dated July 22, 2025 in its Document Center, with columns for tax sale number, parcel, owner name, amount due, geo pin and legal description. Its fee list is also specific, with a 20 dollar certificate of purchase, a 25 dollar reassignment fee and 25 dollars for issuance of a treasurer deed.

Research Albany County parcels before you bid
A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across Albany County, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How Wyoming tax lien sales work
- Taxes fall delinquent in halves. Half the tax is payable November 10 and the rest the following May 10; a balance left unpaid bears interest at 18 percent per annum until paid or collected, and taxes on real property are a perpetual lien against everyone but the United States and the state (W.S. 39-13-108(b) and (d)(i)).
- The treasurer advertises the sale. Notice of the sale runs by publication once a week for three weeks in a legal newspaper in the county, the first publication at least four weeks before the day of sale and before the first week in September; where the county has no legal newspaper, the notice is posted at the courthouse door and in three public places at least 30 days ahead (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(ii)(A)).
- The sale is held at the courthouse. Sales run at the county courthouse or county building between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and continue from day to day, Sundays excepted, until all the land is sold. There is no bidding on price: any person who offers to pay the whole amount of taxes, interest, penalties and costs due on a parcel is the purchaser, and the purchaser pays on the spot or is disqualified and the parcel is offered again (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(A) and (B)).
- A certificate of purchase issues. On payment of the certificate fee the treasurer makes out and delivers a certificate of purchase describing the property and the taxes and costs paid; the certificate may be assigned by endorsement, and the holder takes subject to any special assessments for local or public improvements (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(C) and (E)).
- Redemption runs four years. The owner redeems at the treasurer by paying the amount for which the property sold, a penalty of 3 percent, interest at 15 percent per annum, and a redemption fee; a purchaser who pays later taxes on the parcel earns the same 15 percent on those payments (W.S. 39-13-110).
- The deed window opens at four years and closes at six. A holder applies to the treasurer for a tax deed not less than four nor more than six years from the date of the original sale, proving the statutory notice: personal service at least three months before the application on anyone in actual possession and on the person in whose name the property was taxed, or publication once a week for three weeks on the statutory timing, plus certified or registered mail to the record owner and any mortgagees (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(v)).
- The county path runs beside the private one. Property nobody buys is bid in for the county; the commissioners may sell and assign a county certificate at public or private sale at any time, and four years after the sale the treasurer deeds unredeemed county parcels to the county itself, on at least 60 days notice from the county clerk, after which the commissioners may sell the land at private sale (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(D) and (e)(iv)).
How buying works in Albany County
Registration begins at 7:45 am on sale day and sales begin promptly at 9 am, and late arrivals will not be able to take part. The name on the registration form must be the same name under which payment will be made. Tax buyers must be present to participate, and parents, relatives and friends cannot purchase in the name of another individual. Only one buyer for each taxpayer ID number is allowed, buyers must be 18 years of age, and each buyer is assigned one number only.
- Where buying happens At the county treasurer sale each summer. The day, the room, and the registration rules are the county's own, and each county page on this site names them from that treasurer's published pages.
- No auction in price The amount due is the price, set by the statute. Where two buyers want the same parcel, the treasurer's published rules decide who pays: several Wyoming counties draw lots or work down a rotation of registered buyers. The registration statement at the top of each county page carries the rule that county publishes, or says plainly that the county does not publish one.
- Payment is immediate A purchaser who does not pay the treasurer all amounts due at once is disqualified, and the parcel is offered again on the spot (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(B)). Accepted payment forms differ by county and are stated on each county page.
Terms: what a bid actually costs
| Deposit, Albany County | The county does not publish a bidder deposit for this sale on its Tax Lien Sale page. |
| Payment, Albany County | All purchases must be paid for by 5 pm on the sale date, August 13, 2027. Accepted methods include only cash, check, money order, and VISA, Master Card and bank debit cards. Credit and debit card transactions carry a 2.49 percent convenience fee with a minimum fee of 1.50 dollars, except American Express, which the page lists at 3.5 percent plus 1.50 dollars. |
| Redemption period | Four years from the date of sale. The owner redeems at the county treasurer at any time before a tax deed issues (W.S. 39-13-110). |
| What redemption pays | The amount for which the property sold, a penalty of 3 percent on that amount, interest at 15 percent per annum, and a redemption fee. Later taxes a purchaser pays on the parcel earn the same 15 percent (W.S. 39-13-110). |
| Interest before the sale | Delinquent taxes themselves bear interest at 18 percent per annum from the day after they were payable until paid or collected (W.S. 39-13-108(b)(ii)). That 18 percent is the county charge on the owner; the 15 percent above is what a certificate pays its holder. |
| The price at the sale | Fixed by law at the whole amount of taxes, interest, penalties and costs due on the parcel. There is no premium and no bid down in Wyoming; the contest, where there is one, is over who gets to pay, under the selection rules each county publishes (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(B)). |
| Deed window | A tax deed may be applied for not less than four nor more than six years from the date of the original sale. Miss the window and the certificate no longer ripens into a deed on that sale (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(v)(A)). |
| Fees | The treasurer collects not more than $20 for issuing a certificate of purchase, $25 for issuing a treasurer deed to a private purchaser, and not more than $20 for issuing a certificate of redemption (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(ix)). Counties add their published advertising charge to the amount due. |
| County certificates and county land | The commissioners may sell and assign any certificate bid in for the county at public or private sale at any time, and may reject bids at a public sale. After the treasurer deeds unredeemed parcels to the county, the commissioners may dispose of the property at private sale (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(iii)(D) and (e)(iv)(B)). |
| Certificate of purchase | 20 dollars |
| Reassignment fee | 25 dollars, with no reassignments allowed on the sale date |
| Treasurer deed issuance | 25 dollars |
| Card convenience fee | 2.49 percent with a minimum of 1.50 dollars, and American Express at 3.5 percent plus 1.50 dollars |
Parcels that receive no bids
County rule 9 states that any real property which cannot be sold for the amount of taxes, interest, penalties and costs shall be bid in for the county by the county treasurer. The county page does not publish a later sale or assignment practice for those county held certificates. Under Wyoming law the treasurer deeds unredeemed county held certificates to the county four years after the sale, and the commissioners may then sell that land at private sale. Separately, if a certificate holder does not pay subsequent taxes, the county advertises the property with the other delinquent taxes and sells it at the next regular tax sale as if no previous sale had been made.
Before you bid
- Recheck the list on sale morning Owners redeem and parcels are pulled right up to the sale. The list in the newspaper notice is the starting list, not the final one; work from the treasurer posted list and expect it to shrink.
- Price the wait, not just the rate The certificate pays 15 percent plus the 3 percent penalty only if the owner redeems. If nobody redeems, the money is out for at least four years before a deed can be applied for, and the application window closes at six years from the sale.
- Know what the deed gives you A treasurer deed is prima facie evidence of title and entitles the grantee to possession, but it is subject to special assessments, and an action to recover property sold for taxes may be brought within six years after the sale. Budget for your own title work on any parcel that matters (W.S. 39-13-108(e)(vii)).
