One-Year SOL on Misdemeanors (W.S. §6-1-303)
Under W.S. §6-1-303, misdemeanors must be prosecuted within one year of the offense. Parking violations as municipal/petty offenses fall within this short period. Wyoming's 1-year SOL is among the shortest. Stale citations - particularly through collections or registration holds - are unenforceable.

Sample appeal wording
TO: [CITY/COLLECTOR] RE: Citation #[NUMBER] - Wyoming 1-Year Statute of Limitations Under W.S. §6-1-303, misdemeanors must be prosecuted within one (1) year of the offense. This citation, dated [DATE], is well beyond that period and time-barred as a matter of law. I demand: (1) cancellation; (2) removal of holds and fees; (3) cessation of collection activity. Continued collection after this notice violates the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. §1692e. [NAME] [DATE]
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
