Wyoming Mechanics Lien Deadline (2026): 150 Days after Last Work for Remodelers
How long a remodeler hired by the homeowner has to record a mechanics lien in Wyoming, what notice comes first, and the deadline to sue, worked on three dates.
Not legal advice. General information from each state's lien statute, checked Oct 29, 2026, for a contractor hired directly by the owner of an existing home. Dates are calendar arithmetic; some states move a deadline that lands on a weekend or holiday and some don't, and a recorded notice of completion or commencement can change the clock. Before you rely on a date, check with a construction attorney in your state.
The rule in Wyoming
150 days after last work
File within 150 days after your last work or materials or substantial completion, whichever is first. A recorded notice of substantial completion fixes that date.
180 days after recording
Start foreclosure within 180 days after filing the lien, or the lien ends.
Notice before first payment
Before taking any payment, including advances, give the homeowner the state notice of lien rights and lien waiver rights. Missing it bars the lien. Send the homeowner of record the state notice of intent to lien at least 20 days before filing.
