Wyoming property tax exemptions can lower your bill — there are breaks for owner-occupants, seniors, veterans, and homeowners with disabilities, and many people who qualify never claim them. That is money left on the table every year. Below are the Wyoming property tax exemptions that exist, who qualifies, and how to apply. Amounts and income limits change over time and some are set locally, so treat each figure as a
starting point and confirm the current number with your local assessor.

Wyoming Property Tax Exemptions & Relief
An exemption lowers the value your tax is figured on (or, in some states, gives you a credit or caps how fast your value can rise) — so the same tax rate produces a smaller bill. Here is each of the Wyoming property tax exemptions available to homeowners.
Relief does not look the same everywhere. Some states knock a flat dollar amount off your home’s value; others give a credit on the tax itself, cap how much your assessed value can rise each year, or freeze the bill for qualifying seniors. A few offer an income-based rebate instead of a value exemption. The point is the same — a lower bill for people who qualify — but the
form differs, so read each program below for how it actually works rather than assuming it is a simple dollar discount.
Homestead & Primary-Residence Relief
Homeowner Property Tax Exemption (‘25% exemption,’ SF 69 of 2025): exempts 25% of the first $1 million of a single-family home’s fair market value. For 2026 you must own and occupy the home 8+ months and apply online (deadline about Feb 1). A separate long-term-senior exemption (below) is an either/or alternative – you can’t take both. Wyoming also caps residential value growth at 4% per year.
How much / how it works: 25% of the first $1,000,000 of fair market value. Confirm with your county assessor / the WY Dept of Revenue.
Senior Relief (Age 65+)
Long-Term Homeowner Exemption: 50% off the value of the primary residence (up to 35 acres) for owners 65+ who have paid Wyoming property tax for 25+ years and live in the home 8+ months. Apply with the county assessor (deadline about the 4th Monday in May). You get this OR the 25% homeowner exemption, not both.
How much / how it works: 50% of the residence’s value (65+, 25 years of WY property tax paid). Confirm with your county assessor.
Veteran & Disabled-Veteran Relief
Veterans Exemption (W.S. 39-13-105): $6,000 of assessed value (raised from $3,000, effective 2025) for qualifying wartime/campaign-medal veterans and disabled veterans with a compensable service-connected disability, plus unremarried surviving spouses. Can be applied to the home or to vehicle registration. Apply with the county assessor by the 4th Monday in May.
How much / how it works: $6,000 of assessed value. Confirm with your county assessor.
Disability Relief
Wyoming has no separate disability property exemption; disabled veterans use the veterans exemption above, and lower-income owners can use the Property Tax Refund Program (income-based refund, apply with the county treasurer/DOR by early June).
How much / how it works: Refund program is income-based (household income under ~145% of county/state median). Confirm with your county treasurer.

How to Apply for Wyoming Property Tax Exemptions
Wyoming property tax exemptions are almost never automatic — you have to file for them, usually with your local assessor, and usually by a set date each year. Apply once for most breaks and they carry forward, but a few (like some senior or income-based programs) must be renewed. If you just bought your home, or just turned 65, or your disability or veteran status changed, that is the moment
to file.
Even one missed exemption can cost hundreds of dollars a year, so it is worth ten minutes to check.
Don’t want to appeal your Wyoming taxes yourself? A property tax appeal service can file everything for you and usually only charges if it wins — typically a share of what it saves you. It is one option; you can also appeal on your own for free.
