SF 137 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Subdivisions-fencing requirements.

This bill requires subdividers in Wyoming to build and pay for perimeter fences around new subdivisions adjacent to areas where livestock can run freely. It specifies exact fence types (like steel posts with barbed wire or post-and-board designs) that must meet structural standards to prevent livestock escape. Subdividers must include fence plans in permit applications, and future landowners are responsible for maintenance costs. The law directly affects developers creating subdivisions near grazing lands and aims to reduce livestock-related property damage disputes.
