Wyoming expands security checks on property

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming county clerks must report every recorded property conveyance to state homeland security and criminal investigation officials within 15 days. This covers recorded transfers, mortgages, leases, assignments, and other written documents affecting property interests or title, but excludes wills. Covered property includes land, attached structures, surface rights, mineral rights, pore space, and intangible features contributing to market value. Officials must check whether reported property is inside a designated critical infrastructure zone or within five miles of one. With reasonable suspicion, they must investigate possible involvement by a designated foreign country or person, or threats to security or critical infrastructure. Criminal investigators also have authority to investigate reported conveyances, including identifying the parties involved. Designated countries or persons are foreign governments or nongovernment persons listed as foreign adversaries by the U.S. commerce secretary. The homeland security director must consult with the governor and help state investigators with zone designations and property investigations. The law removes the requirement to give county clerks a list of designated zones; it adds no direct household payment or filing duty.

Wyoming homeland security can share records

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming's Office of Homeland Security may receive and share information available to law enforcement agencies. This includes criminal identification, intelligence, and criminal history records. The office may use and share this information only for purposes listed in the state's homeland security law. This creates no direct household benefit or reporting duty.
