The Acts, and Who Each One Covers

Community type decides which act applies, and a community created before an act took effect may still be under the older one. The declaration says which.

Wyo. Stat. 34-20 (Condominium Ownership Act)

Condominiums

Wyoming's Condominium Ownership Act is four sections (34-20-101 to 34-20-104). It recognizes condominium ownership as a separate fee simple estate in an individual air space unit together with an undivided interest in the common elements, defines the terms, requires notice to the county assessor so each unit is taxed separately, requires the declaration and a map to be recorded, and makes a declaration's mandatory association membership, assessment charges, and attorney-in-fact provisions covenants running with the land binding on successors. It imposes no duty on an association and contains no resale certificate, disclosure, or statement of unpaid assessments provision; a Wyoming condominium issues resale documents under its declaration and bylaws. Wyoming has no homeowners' association, common interest community, or planned community act of any kind, so planned communities have no governing statute to select.
