AA property is sold at auction by the owner
BProperty taxes remain unpaid for the required period, resulting in a tax sale✓ Correct
CThe county assessor determines the property is overvalued
DA property is sold using a installment sale contract

Explanation

When Wyoming property taxes remain unpaid, the county can conduct a tax sale. The purchaser at the tax sale receives a certificate of sale (not immediate title). The original owner typically has a redemption period to pay the delinquent taxes and reclaim the property before title transfers.
