Homeowners may be eligible for property tax refunds

Posted

WYOMING – Wyoming homeowners may qualify for a partial property tax refund through funding made available by the State Legislature.

Gov. Mark Gordon’s Office reminded residents that the Property Tax Refund Program has a June 6 deadline and is open to homeowners who have been Wyoming residents for the past five years and have paid their 2021 property taxes in full. Homeowners must also meet income requirements specific to the county of residence and personal asset limits.

“Wyoming has not raised tax rates, and yet Wyoming citizens are feeling the pinch as their home values have risen,” Gov. Gordon said. “They are seeing it in their assessed valuations on their property. Homeowners need some relief and this program offers some.”

The legislation that passed in March states refunds shall not exceed half of the 2021 total property tax bill and includes limits based on the median residential property tax liability based on the county of residence.

Application forms and additional information are available at the county treasurer’s office and from the Wyoming Department of Revenue. Applications may be submitted online at https://wptrs.wyo.gov or mailed to the Department of Revenue.
