*Property Tax Refund Program Deadline Approaching*

CHEYENNE, Wyo. –  The Wyoming Department of Revenue reminds homeowners in Wyoming that they may qualify for a partial refund of 2024 property taxes paid. The property tax relief program for homeowners has an application deadline of June 2, 2025.

Wyoming Department of Revenue Director Brenda Henson explained that Wyoming residents for the last five years may qualify for a refund if:


* They have occupied the property 9 or more months in 2024
*  Have total assets less than $163,019 per adult household member, excluding the value of your home, one vehicle per adult member of the household and any retirement accounts, life insurance or medical saving accounts from that calculation.
* If the homeowner’s 2024 property tax paid exceeds 10% of your total household gross income, the asset requirement is waived.

In addition, household income must not exceed 145% of the median household income for the county where the property is located, or the statewide median, whichever is larger.  For all but 10 counties that amount is $109,881.  Counties with higher income limits are:

Campbell $133,139; Converse $115,754; Crook $112,897; Laramie $111,331; Lincoln $129,529; Sublette $116,841; Sweetwater $111,650; Teton $192,459; Uinta $117,856 and Weston $111,447.

Homeowners can apply for a refund of up to one-half of the median residential property tax amount or 75 percent of their 2024 property tax bill, whichever is less. 

Taxpayers may apply online at wptrs.wyo.gov [ [link removed] ] or obtain an application from a local County Treasurer's offices across the state. *All applications must be properly completed and filed with the Department of Revenue or the County Treasurer's office no later than June 2.*  Before applying for the refund, individuals must pay their 2024 taxes in full. 

For the 2023 tax year, more than $14.2 million was refunded to 13,485 taxpayers through the property tax refund program, with an average refund of $1,058. 

Additional information on Wyoming’s property tax refund program, including detailed eligibility requirements and how to apply, is available by calling (307) 777-7320 or at  [link removed]

An additional property tax relief program with an approaching deadline is the Long-Term Homeowners exemption. Passed during the 2024 Legislative session, eligible taxpayers may exempt half of the value of their property tax on a primary residence if they have paid residential property tax in Wyoming for 25 years or more and are age 65 or older. The *deadline to file for the  Long-Term Homeowners exemption is May 27*, *and applications must be filed with a local county assessor*.
