Property tax exemption for long-term homeowners.
HB 3 creates a property tax exemption for Wyoming homeowners aged 65 or older who have paid residential property taxes in the state for at least 30 years. It exempts 50% of the assessed value of their primary residence (including single-family homes, condos, mobile homes, or trailers on up to one acre). To qualify, homeowners must submit an annual claim by May 4th to their county assessor, proving residency (8+ months annually), age, and tax payment history. The exemption applies only to the primary residence, limits one exemption per property yearly, and takes effect January 1, 2025.
