What we look for before quoting
A practical review, not legal advice
Planned communities (no dedicated WY act)
Wyoming has not enacted a planned-community or common-interest-ownership act, so a non-condominium HOA's amendment and voting rules generally come from its own recorded declaration and bylaws. If the association is a nonprofit corporation, the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 17-19-101 et seq.) generally supplies the meeting, notice, quorum, and balloting framework. Because there is no statutory default percentage, the approval threshold in your recorded CC&Rs generally governs an amendment.
Condominiums (Condominium Ownership Act)
Wyoming condominiums are recognized under the Wyoming Condominium Ownership Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104), but it is a short statute that mainly recognizes condo ownership, addresses tax apportionment, and requires the declaration (which provides for recording a map locating the units) to be recorded with the county clerk (§ 34-20-104). It does not set a default percentage to amend the declaration or prescribe a voting method, so those generally come from the recorded declaration and bylaws. Many condo associations are also nonprofit corporations, so the Nonprofit Corporation Act may supply the meeting and ballot mechanics.
How the vote can run
If your association is a Wyoming nonprofit corporation, members may generally act by written ballot without a meeting unless the articles or bylaws prohibit it (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 17-19-708), meeting notice is generally sent 10 to 60 days ahead (§ 17-19-705), and proxy voting is generally allowed unless restricted (§ 17-19-724). A written ballot generally must describe each proposed action and is valid only if the returns meet the same quorum and approval levels a meeting would require. Wyoming statutes do not specifically address electronic ballots or ballot secrecy for HOAs, so whether an online vote is permitted generally depends on your declaration and bylaws.
Before we quote
Wyoming details that shape your vote
These are the things we check so your quote and timeline are realistic —
not legal advice, just the questions a careful Wyoming vote has to answer.
Wyoming has no planned-community or common-interest-ownership act, so a non-condo HOA's amendment threshold and voting rules generally live in its recorded declaration and bylaws.
The Wyoming Condominium Ownership Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104) is brief and sets no default amendment percentage and no required voting method.
With no statutory default, the owner-approval percentage to amend the CC&Rs is generally whatever the recorded declaration specifies (often two-thirds or another supermajority).
Most Wyoming associations are nonprofit corporations, so the Nonprofit Corporation Act (§§ 17-19-101 et seq.) generally supplies meeting, quorum, notice, and ballot mechanics.
Members of a nonprofit HOA may generally act by written ballot without a meeting unless the articles or bylaws say otherwise (§ 17-19-708).
Meeting notice for a nonprofit corporation is generally 10 to 60 days before the meeting (§ 17-19-705), and proxies are generally allowed unless restricted (§ 17-19-724).
A condominium declaration (and amendments) is generally recorded with the county clerk to be effective (§ 34-20-104); Wyoming has no state agency that approves HOA amendments.
Wyoming statutes do not specifically authorize or regulate electronic ballots or ballot secrecy for HOAs, so an online vote generally depends on the declaration and bylaws, and some changes may also need lender consent.
