The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to consider environmental impacts of their actions. In Wyoming real estate, NEPA is most relevant when:
ABuying or selling any residential property
BA proposed development requires a federal permit, federal funding, or is on federal land✓ Correct
CBuilding permits are required from the county
DA property is sold to a non-Wyoming resident
Explanation
NEPA applies to federal actions, including those that require federal permits (such as permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, BLM, or USFS) or involve federal land or funding. In Wyoming, where over 50% of land is federally owned, NEPA review affects many development proposals.
