HB 55 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Wyoming homestead opportunity program.

HB 55 establishes Wyoming's Homestead Opportunity Program, selling state-owned land at $1 per acre (10-acre lots) to eligible Wyoming residents for single-family homes. It directly affects working families and individuals seeking affordable homeownership by prohibiting business entities from purchasing lots and limiting each person to a maximum of 25 acres statewide. Key provisions include requiring all lots to be used exclusively for single-family residences, mandating random allocation through public drawing, and allowing the state to reclaim land if rules are violated (e.g., selling to a business or exceeding acreage limits). The program aims to address housing shortages using surplus state lands while ensuring long-term residential use through perpetual covenants in property deeds.
