Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 18-4-505
in effect(a) The board of county commissioners shall annually levy upon all taxable property in the county in addition to other authorized taxes a sufficient sum to pay the interest on all bonds issued and shall at least one (1) year before the bonds become due and in time to provide means for their payment, levy a sufficient additional sum to pay bonds as they become due. All such taxes shall be levied, assessed and collected as other county taxes until the bonds are fully paid, including interest.
(b) The faith, credit and all taxable property within the county as constituted at the time of issue are and shall continue pledged to the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds. In the event of the division of any county, the segregated territory is relieved from any obligation occasioned by the issuance of the bonds when the county acquiring such territory pays its proportionate share as provided by W.S. 18-1-316 through 18-1-320.
(c) Should the tax for payment of interest on bonds not be levied or collected in time for payment, the interest shall be paid out of monies in the general fund of the county and the money so used shall be repaid to the general fund out of the first monies collected from taxes.
