CHEYENNE (WNE) – The Wyoming Department of Revenue has announced that the newly expanded property tax relief program for homeowners is now open for applications.

The program assists eligible Wyoming homeowners – especially those with fixed or limited incomes – who are struggling to pay their property taxes.

“With this program, Wyoming is taking a step forward toward helping those who need it most,” Gov. Mark Gordon said in a news release.

Under the expanded program passed by the Wyoming Legislature earlier this year, homeowners can apply for a refund of up to half of the median residential property tax amount or 75% of their property tax bill, whichever is less.

To be eligible, Wyoming homeowners must meet certain income and residency requirements. Applications will be available through the Department of Revenue’s website or local county treasurer offices.

The application deadline for 2022 property taxes is June 5. For more information, including eligibility requirements and how to apply, visit https://wptrs.wyo.gov/.
