SF 40 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Zoning protest petition-amendments.

This Wyoming bill (SF 40) changes the zoning protest process for cities and towns. It requires property owners to demonstrate specific harm and gather support from either 50% of owners within 500 feet of the proposed change or 50% of owners covering the affected area - raising the threshold from the previous 20% requirement. The change applies only to protests filed on or after July 1, 2025, and prevents zoning changes from taking effect without a 3/4 majority vote of the governing body. This directly affects property owners seeking to block local zoning modifications.
