Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 15-6-412
in effect(a) After receiving the amount of the assessment, penalty, interest, costs and charges, the treasurer shall make out a certificate, dated on the day of sale, stating (when known) the name of the owner as given on the assessment roll, a description of the land or other property sold, the amount paid therefor, the name of the purchaser, that it was sold for the assessment, giving the names of the streets, or other brief designation of the improvement for which the assessment was made, and specifying that the purchaser is entitled to a deed two (2) years from the date of sale, unless the property is redeemed. The certificate shall be signed by the treasurer and delivered to the purchaser who shall record it in the county clerk's office in the county in which the lands or other property is situated within three (3) months from the date thereof. If not recorded within that time, the lien thereof shall be postponed to claims of subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers for value and in good faith who become purchasers and encumbrancers while it is unrecorded.
(b) The city or town comptroller, if there is one, and if not then the city or town clerk, is the custodian of all certificates for property sold to the city or town. At any time within two (2) years from the date of a certificate and before redemption of the property, he shall sell and transfer any certificate to any person who presents to him the treasurer's receipt evidencing payment of the amount for which the property described was stricken off to the city, with interest subsequently accrued to the date of payment. The comptroller or clerk, if authorized by the governing body, may sell and transfer any certificate in like manner after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of the certificate.
