Wyoming is one of the most sparsely populated states in the U.S., making it an attractive destination for those looking to acquire land. While getting completely free land is rare, there are still opportunities to secure low-cost or even no-cost property through various programs. Here’s how you can take advantage of these opportunities.
1. Understand the Homesteading History
While the Homestead Act of 1862 originally granted land to settlers, it was repealed in 1976. However, some communities in Wyoming offer incentives to encourage new residents and businesses.
2. Look for Towns Offering Free or Low-Cost Land
Certain small towns in Wyoming have, in the past, offered free or discounted land to attract new residents and businesses. Examples include:
- Lusk, Wyoming – This town has previously provided low-cost land to businesses willing to invest in the local economy.
- Buffalo, Wyoming – While not free, the town has provided incentives such as tax breaks and grants for new businesses.
Check with town offices and local economic development organizations to see if such programs are currently available.
3. Research Wyoming’s Land Grant and Incentive Programs
Wyoming has several programs that provide financial incentives for land development:
- Wyoming Business Council Programs – Offers grants and funding for businesses that generate jobs and contribute to the state’s economy.
- Agricultural Grants – Farmers and ranchers can access federal and state grants that may assist with land acquisition or development.
- Conservation Easements – If you’re interested in preserving land, some organizations offer financial incentives in exchange for land conservation efforts.
4. Consider Squatting Laws and Unclaimed Land
Wyoming has strict property laws, but in rare cases, adverse possession (also known as squatter’s rights) might apply if someone openly and continuously occupies unused land for a legally defined period (typically ten years). However, this is a complex and risky approach.
5. Check for Federal and State Auctions
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Wyoming state agencies periodically auction off land at low prices. Some of these lands may be close to free, depending on location and demand. Keep an eye on government auction websites for available properties.
6. Apply for Land Through Homesteading-Style Programs
Some private organizations or local governments run modern homesteading programs, providing land at little to no cost if you agree to develop it within a specific timeframe. Contact Wyoming county offices to inquire about any available opportunities.
7. Leverage Off-Grid Living Opportunities
Wyoming is ideal for off-grid living, and some areas allow people to settle with minimal costs. If you can sustain yourself through renewable energy and sustainable practices, you can live on inexpensive or owner-financed land.
Final Thoughts
While free land in Wyoming isn’t as easy to come by as it was in the past, opportunities still exist for those willing to research and invest time into the process. By leveraging grants, incentives, auctions, and rural development programs, you may be able to acquire land at minimal or no cost.
For the latest updates on land opportunities, regularly check with county offices, local economic development boards, and government land auction sites. Happy land hunting!
