Wyoming Nonresident Contractor Sales and Use Tax (Single) Bond
Overview
Out-of-state contractors performing work in Wyoming must satisfy the state's tax compliance requirements before they can operate legally on Wyoming soil. One of those requirements is the Wyoming Nonresident Contractor Sales and Use Tax (Single) Bond — a financial guarantee that you will collect, report, and remit all sales and use taxes owed to the state on a single project. Wyoming uses this bond to protect its tax revenue when contractors based outside the state take on work within its borders. Buying this bond is a condition of doing business here, not an option.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been awarded a single contract in Wyoming but your business is based in another state. That's the situation that triggers this bond — you're a nonresident contractor who needs to satisfy Wyoming's tax bond requirement for one specific project before work begins. This is a single-project bond, meaning it covers your sales and use tax obligations tied to that specific contract rather than providing ongoing multi-project coverage. Subcontractors, general contractors, and specialty trade contractors from out of state all fall into this category if they're bringing crews or materials into Wyoming.
What is this Bond For?
Wyoming requires nonresident contractors to post this bond so the state has a financial backstop if sales and use taxes go unpaid on the covered project. As the principal, you are obligated to collect applicable taxes, file returns, and send payments to the Wyoming Department of Revenue on time. If you fail to meet those obligations, Wyoming can make a claim against this bond to recover what it's owed. The bond protects the state — not you — and it makes your tax compliance enforceable from day one of the project.
When is it Required?
Before you can begin work on your Wyoming project, this bond must already be in place. Wyoming does not allow nonresident contractors to start on a covered contract and bond later — the guarantee must be filed and accepted first. Timing matters: delays in securing the bond translate directly into delays on your project start date. Get this bond purchased and submitted as part of your pre-mobilization checklist.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Wyoming and is a Wyoming Department of Revenue requirement, not a local county or municipal rule. It covers the specific single project for which it was obtained, anywhere within state lines. If you take on additional separate contracts in Wyoming, you will need to address bond requirements for those contracts independently.
