Wyoming condominium compliance — and two fabricated laws we're correcting
You may have seen a "Wyoming Planned Community Ownership Act" cited online — sometimes at "Wyo. Stat. § 34.1-3-101," sometimes at "§ 36-9-201" — as the law governing Wyoming homeowners associations. Neither citation is real. § 34.1-3-101 is Wyoming's Uniform Commercial Code; § 36-9-201 is Wyoming's unrelated State Lands Homestead Opportunity Program. Wyoming has no planned-community act of any kind. GnomeOwner checked the state's own statutes directly rather than repeating what other sites say; see the correction below.
A Wyoming condominium is instead governed by the real Condominium Ownership Act — just four sections, Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104. It's the thinnest condominium law GnomeOwner has found in any state: it never names a board, never sets a meeting rule, and says nothing about insurance or reserves. The one real, standing duty GnomeOwner found anywhere in Wyoming law for an association comes from a different statute entirely — the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act — and only reaches an association that has chosen to incorporate. GnomeOwner's calendar tracks that one duty honestly, rather than inventing rules Wyoming's own law doesn't contain.
There is no "Wyoming Planned Community Ownership Act" — two fabricated citations circulate
Two different, equally fake citations for a “Wyoming Planned Community Ownership Act” show up across HOA-content sites and even some AI-generated summaries: one points to “Wyo. Stat. § 34.1-3-101,” which is actually Wyoming's Uniform Commercial Code, and another points to “§ 36-9-201,” which is actually the unrelated State Lands Homestead Opportunity Program. Wyoming has no planned-community act at all. A Wyoming condominium is governed by the real Condominium Ownership Act, Title 34, Chapter 20 — an unusually short law whose four sections never name a board, a manager, or any meeting rule; whatever governance structure an association actually uses is left entirely to its own recorded declaration and bylaws. The one genuine, standing, quotable duty GnomeOwner found for a Wyoming association comes from an entirely different law — the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act — and only reaches an association that has incorporated under it:
“a member is entitled to inspect and copy, at a reasonable time and location specified by the corporation, any of the records of the corporation described in W.S. 17-19-1601(e) if the member gives the corporation written notice or a written demand at least five (5) business days before the date on which the member wishes to inspect and copy.”
A few of the duties GnomeOwner tracks for Wyoming condominium associations governed by the Condominium Ownership Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104
Every deadline here shows you the exact sentence of the statute it comes from, so you — or your attorney — can check it in seconds.
Let members inspect and copy your corporate records, if you're incorporated
If a member gives your association written notice at least 5 business days ahead, let that member inspect and copy your articles of incorporation, bylaws, board resolutions about member classes, the last 3 years of member-meeting minutes and financial statements you've sent to members, your current list of directors and officers, and your most recent annual report to the Wyoming Secretary of State — at a reasonable time and place you set.
Your association is incorporated as a Wyoming nonprofit corporation. Wyoming's own Condominium Ownership Act sets no recordkeeping or member-inspection rule for condominiums at all — this duty comes from Wyoming's separate nonprofit-corporation law and only reaches an association that has chosen to incorporate.
“a member is entitled to inspect and copy, at a reasonable time and location specified by the corporation, any of the records of the corporation described in W.S. 17-19-1601(e) if the member gives the corporation written notice or a written demand at least five (5) business days before the date on which the member wishes to inspect and copy.”

Confirm anything you plan to act on with your own attorney or CPA; law as reflected here is current as of 2026-08-22.
Neither of Wyoming's own official statute captures — the Condominium Ownership Act or the Nonprofit Corporation Act sections used here — carries per-section amendment-history citations, so the exact year of each section's most recent amendment couldn't be confirmed. Confirm current law with your attorney before relying on any figure here as fully current.
Wyoming questions we hear a lot
Is there a Wyoming Planned Community Ownership Act?
No. Two different citations for it circulate online — “Wyo. Stat. § 34.1-3-101” (actually Wyoming's Uniform Commercial Code) and “§ 36-9-201” (actually the unrelated State Lands Homestead Opportunity Program) — and neither is real. Wyoming has no planned-community act of any kind. A Wyoming condominium is governed by the real Condominium Ownership Act, Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-20-101 to 34-20-104, just four sections long.
What does Wyoming's Condominium Ownership Act actually require?
Very little. A full read of all four sections found no board, manager, or meeting rule of any kind, and no mandate — not even a conditional one — for insurance or reserves. Whatever governance structure, meeting schedule, or insurance coverage a Wyoming condominium actually uses is set entirely by its own recorded declaration and bylaws, not by state statute.
Does Wyoming require an HOA reserve study?
No. The Condominium Ownership Act sets no reserve-fund requirement and no reserve-disclosure duty of any kind — not a mandate, not even a conditional trigger. Any reserve funding a Wyoming association carries is entirely a voluntary board choice, not a statutory floor.
Can Wyoming HOA or condo members inspect association records?
Only if the association has incorporated as a Wyoming nonprofit corporation — Wyoming's own Condominium Ownership Act gives members no records-inspection right at all. Once incorporated, though, the Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act does: “a member is entitled to inspect and copy, at a reasonable time and location specified by the corporation, any of the records of the corporation described in W.S. 17-19-1601(e) if the member gives the corporation written notice or a written demand at least five (5) business days before the date on which the member wishes to inspect and copy” (Wyo. Stat. § 17-19-1602(a)).
