Wyoming Property Tax by County

Wyoming has 23 counties operating under a constitutionally-fixed 9.5% residential assessment ratio (WY Const. Art. 15) — only 9.5% of fair market value is taxed. Effective property tax rates run ~0.55% statewide median — the lowest in the United States. HB 45 of 2024 caps year-over-year residential AV growth at 4%.

Why move here

  • lowest effective property tax rates in the US (~0.55% median)
  • 9.5% constitutional residential assessment ratio
  • HB 45 of 2024 caps residential AV growth at 4%/year (auto-applied)
  • no state income tax
  • Long-Term Senior Exemption (50% off AV for 65+ with 25+ years WY residency)
  • Property Tax Refund Program (refundable for HHI ≤ 145% county median)
  • Yellowstone + Grand Teton + outdoor recreation
  • oil + gas + coal industry employment

Why not move here

  • Teton County (Jackson Hole) home values $1.45M+ — high absolute bills despite low rate
  • limited big-city amenities (Cheyenne ~65K is largest)
  • extreme winters + high elevation
  • small population (~580K) means fewer services + amenities
  • $3,000 Veterans Exemption is NOT full exemption (WY is not categorical full-vet)
  • distance from major metros (Denver 100+ miles south)

About this site's data and estimates. The Property Tax Almanac is an independent editorial reference. It is not affiliated with any government agency, tax assessor, or tax preparation service. The calculators and data on this site are informational and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified tax professional, attorney, or your official county assessor or appraisal district.

Accuracy, sources, and scope. Source years and review coverage vary. A record’s update date is not confirmation of its tax year. Reviewed guides identify their official sources and calculation limits; other records may have incomplete source documentation. See our methodology and review process.

How to use these estimates. Read the scope of each tool: it may use a representative district, a historical rate, or hypothetical inputs. County benchmarks are not a parcel-specific tax quote. Confirm the taxable value, taxing districts, applicable year, exemptions and additional charges with the responsible local office before relying on an estimate.
