Real property-severance of pore space-notice.
Wyoming's HB 193 requires sellers of real property to disclose whether ownership of the space beneath the land (pore space) has been severed from surface ownership in property sales. This affects all property sellers and buyers in Wyoming, particularly in areas where pore space rights may have been separated from surface rights. The bill clarifies that surface property conveyances automatically include pore space ownership unless explicitly severed or excluded, and mandates this disclosure in all property transactions starting July 1, 2025. It does not create new rights but standardizes existing practices into a clear disclosure requirement for buyers.
