SF 110: Residential property tax revisions.

Wyoming's SF 110 establishes a lower property tax assessment rate for primary residences owned by residents who live there year-round. It sets an 8.3% assessment rate for owner-occupied primary homes (down from 9.5%) while maintaining a 9.5% rate for other residential properties. To qualify for the lower rate, homeowners must submit an annual claim to their county assessor by May 4th, demonstrating they occupy the property as their primary residence for at least six months. The bill repeals an existing exemption for primary residences and takes effect for the 2027 tax year.

HB 68: Veteran's exemption.

HB 68 expands Wyoming's property tax exemption for veterans with permanent, total service-connected disabilities. It allows eligible veterans certified as having a 100% service-connected disability to claim a full exemption on the assessed value of their primary residence, including up to 10 acres of associated land - replacing the previous $6,000 annual limit. Surviving spouses who haven't remarried and keep the property as their primary residence also retain this full exemption. The change applies to tax years beginning January 1, 2027, and does not affect veterans who qualify only for the standard $6,000 exemption.

HB 58: Voter approval for mill levy imposition.

HB 58 requires voter approval for new mill levies imposed by school districts and educational boards for recreational facilities, cooperative education services, and special school taxes. Before any new levy can be implemented, a proposition must be submitted to voters at the general election, requiring majority approval. Approved levies would last four years and require renewal votes at the second general election every four years. This bill applies only to new levies; existing levies are unaffected by this requirement.
