About the Sublette County Clerk
Sublette County was established in 1921 from portions of Fremont and Lincoln counties and was named for William Lewis Sublette, a fur trapper and trader who ranged across these western Wyoming mountains in the early 1800s. Much of the county's roughly 4,900 square miles lies within the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Wind River and Wyoming ranges, and the county's frontier fur-trade heritage is preserved at the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale. The local economy shifted from ranching and agriculture toward natural gas development after an early-2000s drilling boom in the Pinedale Anticline and Jonah Field.

How to File a Document
- Sign in Front of a Notary: Wyoming Statute § 34-1-113 requires the grantor's signature to be acknowledged before a notarial officer, following the requirements of Wyoming Statute § 34-26-107, before the Sublette County Clerk can accept a deed for recording. The deed is actually valid between grantor and grantee as soon as it's signed and delivered -- the notarized acknowledgment is what makes it eligible for recording, which is the step that protects the new owner against someone else later claiming an interest in the same property.
- Attach a Full Legal Description, Not Just an Address: A street address alone won't satisfy Wyoming's requirements -- the deed needs the property's actual legal description (a government survey reference, a metes-and-bounds description, or a platted lot and block, depending on how the parcel was originally surveyed). You can usually copy this directly from the deed that transferred the property to you.
- Complete a Statement of Consideration: Unlike many states, Wyoming requires a separate signed Statement of Consideration to accompany the deed when it's filed (Wyoming Statute § 34-1-142), unless a specific exemption applies. This is a distinct document with its own signature, not a box you check on the deed itself -- the Sublette County Clerk can provide the current form and confirm whether your situation qualifies for an exemption.
- Consider Online Notarization if an In-Person Visit Is Hard: Wyoming has permitted remote online notarization on a permanent basis since July 1, 2021, when Senate File 29 took effect (Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-102) -- so if getting to a notary's office in person is inconvenient, a signer may be able to complete the acknowledgment over live video with a Wyoming-commissioned online notary instead.
- Record with the County Clerk: Bring, mail, or (where the county supports it) e-file the signed, notarized deed and its Statement of Consideration with the Sublette County Clerk for the county where the property sits. Wyoming's recording fee is set by state statute (W.S. § 18-3-402) -- a flat rate for the first page and a separate flat rate for each additional page, not a percentage of the property's value -- and Wyoming imposes no state or local real estate transfer tax on top of that.
