What property tax exemptions are available in Laramie County for seniors?

Laramie County offers the Property Tax Refund Program for eligible seniors and residents, providing refunds up to 50% of the median residential property tax or 75% of your bill. Additionally, the new Long-Term Homeowners Exemption offers a 50% reduction in assessed value for those who've paid Wyoming property taxes for 25+ years. Applications for the refund program are due by the first Monday in June.

How is my Laramie County property tax bill calculated with the 9.5% assessment ratio?

Your property tax is calculated by multiplying your home's market value by 9.5% to get the assessed value, then multiplying that by the local mill levy. For example, a $300,000 home would have an assessed value of $28,500, which when multiplied by Laramie County's mill levy (approximately 76 mills) results in an annual tax bill of about $2,166.

What happens if I disagree with the County Board of Equalization's decision on my appeal?

If you're unsatisfied with the County Board's decision, you can appeal to the Wyoming State Board of Equalization within 30 days of receiving the County Board's decision. This is a formal process that may require legal representation. The State Board will review your case independently and make a final determination on your property's assessed value.

Yes, Laramie County automatically applies the Residential Exemption, which caps assessment increases at 4% annually for single-family homes that haven't changed ownership or had structural changes.
