The essentials in Wyoming

More on property tax

  • Homeowner's exemption: 25% of value

    Wyoming has a homeowner's exemption: 25 percent of the fair market value of a single family home and its associated improved land is exempt from property tax. The exemption applies only to the first $1,000,000 of fair market value. A single family home means a privately owned single family house, modular home, mobile home, townhouse or condominium. Beginning with tax year 2026, the person claiming the exemption must live in the home at least 8 months of the year. It is not available to anyone who applied for and received the paragraph (xlv) exemption (the long-term homeowner exemption) on the same property in the same tax year.

    Wyoming State Legislature (Wyoming Statutes, Title 39) · Verified October 24, 2026

  • Deadline: confirm each year between October 1 and March 1

    To receive the homeowner's exemption, the person claiming it confirms each year that they meet the requirement to live in the home. This is done with a yearly claim to the Department of Revenue on a website the Department provides. The confirmation is filed between October 1 of the previous year and March 1 of the tax year. Anyone who files after March 1 does not receive the exemption. If you bought the home after January 1 of the tax year, you can combine the months you lived in your previous qualifying home with the months you live in the new one.

  • Deadline to contest the assessment: 30 days

    If you disagree with the assessment of your property, you file a statement with the county assessor giving the reasons the assessment is incorrect. The deadline is 30 days after the date the assessment schedule was sent. If you mail it or send it electronically, it counts as filed on time if it is postmarked or transmitted within 30 days after the assessment notice was mailed or sent. The assessor sends a copy to the county clerk, who is the clerk of the county board of equalization.

  • Long-term homeowner's exemption (65 and older)

    The Long-term Homeowner's Exemption is for homeowners who are 65 or older, or whose spouse is 65 or older, and who have paid residential property taxes in Wyoming for at least 25 years. The 25 years do not need to be consecutive. The exemption removes 50 percent of the fair market value of the primary residence and its associated improved land, up to 35 acres. It applies to the first $3,000,000 of fair market value.

  • Proof of age for the long-term homeowner's exemption

    For the long-term homeowner's exemption, the owner or their spouse must be at least the age the law requires for this exemption and show proof of age when filing the application. These documents are enough to prove age: a valid Wyoming driver's license or Wyoming identification card; a valid United States passport; a birth certificate; or any other document that sufficiently establishes the applicant's age.

Prices and risks

Three official measures that help you decide: how much home prices have changed according to FHFA, how prices compare with the national average according to BEA, and how many homes sit in a flood zone according to FEMA.

Home prices

How have home prices changed?

According to the FHFA House Price Index, home prices in Wyoming rose 68% in the 10 years through 2025.

Price change each year

Period Wyoming United States
In 2025 +4.1% +2.9%
5 years (2020–2025) +44% +47%
10 years (2015–2025) +68% +85%

The index follows the prices of the same homes over time (sales and appraisals on loans bought or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). It is not the average price of a home. FHFA considers its annual state indexes experimental.

Cost of living

How expensive are prices here?

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), in 2024 prices in Wyoming were 7% lower than the U.S. average. Housing rents were 29% lower than nationwide.

BEA expresses each index as a percentage of the average U.S. price level: a higher number means higher prices, and a lower one, lower prices.

Flooding

Is there a flood risk?

According to FEMA, in Wyoming 1.8% of homes (4,848) are in a high-risk flood zone. Of those homes, 15% have NFIP flood insurance.

  • A high-risk zone (Special Flood Hazard Area) has a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. 44 CFR 59.1
  • If the home is in that zone and the loan comes from a regulated lender, federal law requires flood insurance for the life of the loan, in communities that take part in the NFIP. 42 U.S.C. 4012a
  • Most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. FEMA, FloodSmart
Wyoming United States
Homes in a high-risk zone 1.8% 3.5%
Of those, with NFIP insurance 15% 48%
