Notice of annexation.
HB 142 requires cities and towns in Wyoming to send certified mail notices to specific property owners at least 20 business days before an annexation hearing. It mandates that notices be sent to all landowners in the proposed annexation area, affected public utilities, and adjacent property owners within 550 feet (regardless of whether the adjacent property is inside or outside city limits). The bill also requires including a summary of the annexation report with the notice. This change applies to all annexation proceedings and took effect July 1, 2023.
