Wyoming residents can now apply for the state's 2026 property tax relief programs, which offer significant exemptions based on residency and homeowner status. The application window is open until March 1, 2027.
Why it matters
These relief programs are designed to provide financial support to homeowners by lowering the tax burden on their primary residences. Meeting specific criteria allows eligible residents to secure tax exemptions on a portion of their property's market value.
The Homeowner's Property Tax Exemption provides a 25% exemption on the first $1 million of fair market value, while the Long-Term Homeowner Exemption offers a 50% exemption on the first $3 million for those 65 and older.
