IAAI Car Total Cost in Wyoming (2026)

IAAI in Wyoming: four hammer prices

Wyoming tax is applied to the hammer price only. No storage days are assumed.

What the IAAI side of a Wyoming bill is made of

IAAI's side of the Wyoming bill is a tiered buyer fee, an internet bid fee, a $105 service fee (Copart's equivalent is a gate fee), a $15 environmental fee and a $20 title fee: $884 at a $7,500 hammer.

These Wyoming totals use IAAI's Standard (non-Public) registration schedule. IAAI has no Premier tier like Copart's; Public Auto Auction registration is the broad-access option, and some licensed dealers get discounted dealer fees. Full tier tables are in the IAAI fee calculator.

Wyoming tax and title on a IAAI buy

Wyoming state rate is 4%. Counties add up to 2%. Trade-in credit applies.

Buying IAAI cars in Wyoming with a dealer license

Wyoming dealer licenses come from Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), Motor Vehicle Services (Used Vehicle Dealer, New Vehicle Dealer). Bond: $25,000 (Vehicle dealer bond). The state's own wording on when you count as a dealer: "buys and sells, or exchanges retail three (3) or more vehicles"

Wyoming statute defines a 'wholesaler' as a person who sells used vehicles to Wyoming vehicle dealers, distinct from a retail dealer.

For dealers selling fewer than 12 vehicles per 12-month period, the principal place of business must be a permanent commercial building complying with local zoning, where the public may contact the dealer, with books/records kept on site, a landline telephone, and an exterior sign permanently affixed with letters visible from the highway.

State licensing fees in Wyoming: Dealer license fee (fewer than 12 vehicles/year) $25; Dealer license fee (12 or more vehicles/year) $100.

Every licensing fact with its source is on the Wyoming dealer license guide.

IAAI or Copart in Wyoming

Wyoming tax and title are the same at both venues, so only the fees differ. At a $4,000 hammer the Wyoming all-in is $4,809 on IAAI and $5,134 on Copart, a gap of $325. See the Copart total cost in Wyoming, or the three-hammer comparison on the Wyoming total cost guide.
