FAQ
Wyoming Property Tax Appeal Questions
How does the 9.5% ratio work in Wyoming?
If your home's fair market value is $400,000, the assessed value is $38,000 (9.5%). Your tax bill is this assessed value multiplied by your local mill levy.
Can my Wyoming assessment increase on appeal?
No. Wyoming law generally protects homeowners from assessment increases during the appeal process. Your value can only stay the same or go down.
How often does Wyoming reassess?
Wyoming reassesses all property annually. The county assessor determines market value as of January 1 each year using sales data and cost approaches.
