Special districts-limit on tax levy.
This bill (SF 56) would require Wyoming county commissioners to decline certifying tax levies for special districts (like fire or water districts) if those districts have accumulated reserves exceeding three times their current adopted budget. It directly affects special districts that rely on local property taxes for funding. The key provision sets a specific financial threshold (3x the budget) that triggers the commissioner's ability to block tax increases. The bill would take effect January 1, 2025, if passed.
