Wyoming Transfer Tax
Wyoming has no state real estate transfer tax on home sales (statute). Confirmed two ways from primary sources: Title 39's full chapter list has no transfer-tax chapter, and the county-clerk fee statute (W.S. 18-3-402) that lists every fee a clerk may collect on a recorded deed contains only flat per-page charges, unlike neighboring states' clerk-fee statutes which do carry an ad valorem transfer stamp line item.
