Why did I receive a tax bill when I sold (no longer own) this property?

Wyoming law requires that tax notices be sent to the owner of record as of January 1st of the tax year. Since these are the 2022 taxes, they were sent to the owner as of January 1, 2022. When property is sold after January 1, there is usually some arrangement between the seller and buyer regarding who owes what part of the current year property taxes. The new owner will also receive a tax bill in most cases.
