Background and enabling law
Wyoming enacted HB 179 as Chapter 152 in 2011, approved 3 March 2011 and effective 1 July 2011. It added energy-improvements-program authority to W.S. 15-1-701 and 15-1-702. Enactment was not a statewide operational launch. Official 2011 session laws, printed pp. 423–424
The legislature's current Title 15 publication retains that authority. A municipality, county or joint powers board may designate an area and establish a program for cost-effective improvements to existing residential, commercial or industrial buildings. The definition covers energy efficiency or renewable energy. A local governing body may secure financing with a property lien and use the referenced special-assessment enforcement mechanism. Current Title 15, §§15-1-701(a)(iv), 15-1-702(c)

A search result for Wyoming County, New York is not Wyoming-state evidence and must not be used to fill these gaps.
Local verification requirements
Before writing an application call to action, obtain the actual adopting ordinance or resolution, district boundaries, current administrator designation, public intake materials and financing documents for the property's municipality/county. The statute permits local application, audit, term and fee rules; it does not supply an operating program's complete terms. W.S. 15-1-702(c)
Do not insert another state's five-unit threshold, retroactive look-back, construction eligibility, lender-consent form or tax-bill promise. Likewise, wind, wildfire, winter-weather or other local exposure does not automatically make resilience work eligible under this energy-improvements authority. Parcel-specific hazard, building-code, permit and program eligibility need separate authoritative evidence.
Financing mechanics and risks remain a gate
The existence of lien authority is not enough to state current priority against mortgages, consent timing, collection arrangements, acceleration, transfer, prepayment, interest or maximum borrower term. Those claims remain held. The absence of an explicit consent sentence in the provisions reviewed is not evidence that mortgage consent is unnecessary. No borrower should assume funding availability from this page.
Research record and next admissible evidence
Reviewed the legislature's current Title 15, the original 2011 session law and bounded searches for Wyoming-state C-PACE/energy-improvements programs and current local availability. Search did not produce a qualified official operating program. This is not an exhaustive legal opinion or a definitive statewide negative census.
A supported active-program page would require: (1) official local adoption, (2) current administrator and open intake, (3) current property/measure/financing rules, (4) operational consent and assessment documents, and (5) dated project evidence if a case study is included. Until then, use this explicit gap brief rather than a financing offer.
Additional verification limits
Items requiring further confirmation: Current official Title 15 §§15-1-701/702 plus original 2011 Chapter 152 directly read. Actual adoption/boundaries, administrator/current intake, handbook/funding, transaction rules, code/permits and project proof.
