Homeowners in the county notified of alterations to property tax exemption set by the County Assessor.
In Sheridan County, Wyoming, residents are being informed about a significant change in the statewide homeowner property tax exemption. Paul Fall, the County Assessor, is leading the charge to ensure homeowners understand the updates.
Beginning on October 1, applications for the 25 percent homeowner exemption will open. This exemption, which reduces a qualifying residence's fair market value by 25 percent up to the first $1 million, has been in effect for some time. However, starting from the 2026 tax year, homeowners must notify the Assessor's Office that their property is their primary residence to continue receiving the exemption.
It's important to note that the deadline for submitting applications for the 25 percent homeowner exemption is earlier than both the 2026 tax year start date and the deadlines for other tax programs. The deadline for applications is February 2, 2026.
The Wyoming Legislature created the property tax exemptions that are in effect for the 2026 tax year. In the past, the statewide homeowner exemption was applied automatically. However, beginning in 2026, the exemption now requires homeowner action to continue receiving the benefit.
The Assessor's Office, under Paul Fall's leadership, is actively working to alert homeowners about this change. They encourage all homeowners who wish to continue receiving the 25 percent homeowner exemption to submit their applications promptly to ensure timely review and compliance with eligibility criteria.
The 25-percent minimum homeownership tax exemption in Wyoming requires homeowners to own at least 25% of the home to continue receiving the tax exemption. Homeowners must submit their applications within the specified period set by the legislature to maintain the exemption.
It's essential for all Sheridan County homeowners to stay informed about these changes to avoid any potential issues with their property tax exemptions. For more detailed information, residents are encouraged to contact the Sheridan County Assessor's Office.
