Where We Buy · Wyoming · Laramie County ## Sell your Laramie County mineral rights. Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs, Burns: the northern DJ Basin, where Codell rather than Niobrara is the economic zone and the Union Pacific checkerboard decides who owns what. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Laramie County is the northern end of the DJ Basin, and it is a genuinely different asset from Weld County across the state line. The Codell rather than the Niobrara is the primary economic target here, and the Niobrara is materially less prolific than it is in Colorado. The Wyoming State Geological Survey looked at roughly 119 horizontal Codell wells in a study area east of Cheyenne and concluded that completion design mattered as much as geology, which is a useful caution against pricing acreage off a neighbor's well. EOG is the dominant operator, with North Silo Resources, Longs Peak, Samson, Bison IV, Chaco, and others active. Roughly 569 wells produce out of nearly 9,900 drilled, and activity is well below the 2014 peak. What makes Laramie attractive despite that is the ownership and tax picture. This is the strongest fee mineral county on our Wyoming list, and Wyoming has no individual income tax, so there is no state tax on your gain and no withholding at closing. Immediately south, Colorado withholds 2 percent on nonresident sales over $100,000. The complication is the Union Pacific land grant checkerboard. Odd numbered sections within 20 miles of the mainline through Cheyenne and Pine Bluffs were conveyed to the railroad expressly including minerals, so those sections often carry corporate rather than family title. We check it first. Wyoming also protects your royalty from production cost deductions by statute under W.S. 30-5-304, and has no dormant mineral act. Send us a legal description.

Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value.

Questions ## Straight answers for Laramie County owners Is Laramie County the same play as Weld County, Colorado? Same basin, different quality and different rules. Laramie sits on the northern DJ where the Niobrara is materially less prolific than in Weld County, and where the Codell is the primary economic target rather than a secondary one. The Wyoming State Geological Survey studied roughly 119 horizontal Codell wells by six operators in a study area east of Cheyenne and concluded completion design mattered as much as geology. It is also two benches here rather than the deeper stack found in Colorado, and Wyoming's rules on deductions and taxes are much better for an owner than Colorado's. What is the Union Pacific checkerboard and does it affect me? It very well may. The Union Pacific land grant runs 20 miles either side of the mainline through Cheyenne and Pine Bluffs, and odd numbered sections in that corridor were conveyed to the railroad expressly including the minerals. So odd sections frequently carry railroad derived corporate mineral title rather than family title. A title search that assumes a homestead pattern will reach the wrong answer in alternating sections, and it is one of the first things we check here. Will I pay Wyoming tax when I sell? No. Wyoming has no state individual income tax, so there is no Wyoming tax on your capital gain and no nonresident withholding at closing. Compare Colorado immediately south, which withholds 2 percent of the sales price on nonresident sales of real property over $100,000 and has a flat 4.40 percent income tax. Same basin, materially different after tax outcome for an out of state seller. Free Valuation ## Find out what your Laramie County minerals are worth. Free, no obligation, and no pressure.
