Sister Wives Update: Money Is Still Owed on Coyote Pass

For years, Kody Brown has been trying to get his large, polygamous family on board with the idea of one shared home. However, it became painfully apparent that none of Kody’s four wives wanted to live under one roof. So, the Sister Wives star came up with what he thought could be a compromise. Kody, along with Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown, all agreed to buy land in Arizona to build their dream homes on. However, the project turned into a complete nightmare and left them in debt.

Who owns Coyote Pass?

In 2021, Kody and his four wives purchased parcels on Coyote Pass. Before the demise of the family unit, the family had planned to settle in their own houses. However, as late as 2022, Christine still lived in the house she owned while Meri and Janelle rented. Robyn and Kody had also bought a home in town. The homes were not close together and the spread-out location had the wives realizing they liked being apart. So, it became apparent that multiple spouses were stalling on committing to the big move. At the time, Janelle, who eventually lived on the land in an RV, seemed like the only one willing to still build her forever home.

Together, the Browns spent $820,000 on the land. However, ownership of the land wasn’t split evenly among the family members. There are two smaller parcels and two larger parcels. Kody is the part-owner of all four properties. Fans were surprised to learn that the land had been split into five plots so Kody could build his own home. Naturally, the wives weren’t thrilled with this idea. As of 2024, Christine has sold her parcel back to Kody for $10.

Is Coyote Pass paid off?

The short and sweet answer is no. The 14-acre property has remained untouched since the day the Browns bought it. In an episode, Kody explained that the size of each plot didn’t matter because the acreage was appraised the same. In June 2023, The Sun reported that Janelle had been able to pay off her parcel of land. Janelle and Kody paid off the land in their name and an additional plot in Robyn’s name. The debt on the land was $170,000 each. As of 2023, no permits have been issued for building on the land.

In Season 18, Meri revealed that nothing had been built because they still owed money on the property. The mother of one revealed, “Honestly, the property is the furthest thing from my mind. There’s a lot of family stuff that needs to be worked out.” During Season 18, Kody noted that his second wife had “pestered him about it.” In the same season, Robyn and Meri also fought about the equal division of land. The Lizzie’s Heritage Inn owner felt she had been cheated, stating that her husband had “already made the decision” about the land agreement. Meri went on to reveal that she didn’t think it was fair that everyone was given four acres while she was only given two.

Kody Brown is making moves

In June 2023, In Touch reported that Kody and Robyn owed $4,858.73 in late property taxes for the land. The legal documents listed Kody as the owner. And as of November 2023, Robyn was listed as the owner of three parcels. In August 2024, Sister Wives viewers learned that Kody and Robyn had put their Flagstaff home up for sale. The couple are asking $1,650,000 for their “stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views.” The Zillow listing claims it offers a “luxurious, spa-like en-suite bathroom, complete with a large dual-head shower and built-in shelving in the walk-in closet.”

While it is unclear if Kody and Robyn will relocate to Coyote Pass, most viewers feel they will leave Flagstaff altogether. The trailer for Season 19 has shown Robyn and Kody struggling with their marriage. Kody is currently only legally married to his fourth wife. But he has alienated most of the family thanks to his bride. With the house up for sale, it wouldn’t surprise me if they used some of the money to pay off Coyote Pass and move on from the train wreck that was Arizona.
