WY caveats

NO BIDDING. Wyoming allocates liens by random draw rather than auction — the certificate is taxes plus costs and the return does not depend on competition. Our own calendar records Uinta County's procedure as 'Random Selection'. A model that assumes premium or bid-down behaviour does not apply here.
A FURTHER 3% PENALTY IS EARNED IN THE FIRST YEAR, on top of the 15% per annum, and is not in the tier — one number cannot hold both. Year one is therefore better than modelled and years two to four are as modelled.
FOUR YEARS BEFORE A DEED, SIX BEFORE THE RIGHT LAPSES. The holder may apply for a tax deed only after four years from the sale and not more than six. Capital is committed for at least four years, the owner may redeem throughout, and a holder who sleeps past six loses the ability to take title at all.
Wyoming is the longest hold in this file. At 15% simple that is attractive on paper, but auctionToMarketableMonths is 54 and the money is illiquid throughout — compare against what else that capital could do over four and a half years rather than against a one-year lien state.
Assessment is by use, not county: 11.5% industrial, 9.5% everything else. This row uses 9.5%.
The 2025 homeowner exemption (W.S. 39-11-105(a)(xlvi), Enrolled Act No. 60) exempts 25% of fair market value on a single family residence and its improved land, capped at the first $1,000,000, first applying to tax year 2025; from tax year 2026 the claimant must actually reside there at least eight months of the year. Note this is an EXEMPTION, not a rate change — press reporting of an 8.3% owner-occupied rate described a floor amendment that did not survive into the enrolled act.
quietTitle costs here are a placeholder and have not been reviewed by the operator. Do not rely on a computed Wyoming max bid until they are set.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — W.S. 39-13-103: property used for industrial purposes is assessed at 11.5% of fair market value; all other property, real and personal, at 9.5%. Wyoming assesses by use, not by county. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
