Wyoming lien waiver requirements
Wyoming is unusual on two counts: it has a single statutory lien waiver form under Wyo. Stat. §29-10-101 (no separate conditional and unconditional versions), and that waiver must be notarized to be valid. The single form functions as an unconditional waiver.
This guide covers Wyoming’s one form, the notary requirement, and why timing matters. It is general information, not legal advice — confirm specifics with a Wyoming construction attorney.
