A resolution to continue the General Purpose Excise Tax was an item of discussion at this week’s Sheridan City Council study session. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Wyoming Statute stipulates that the General Purpose Excise Tax must be approved every four years by the electors of the county. A resolution that would place continuation of the GPET on the ballot for the General Election in November must be approved by the Sheridan City Council, Sheridan County Commission and half of the municipalities within Sheridan County.

City Attorney Brad Thimmesch says the resolution that will soon come before the City Council for consideration outlines how the funds may be allocated and used by the City.

Thimmesch said that if continuation of the GPET is approved by Sheridan County voters in November, the revenue collection will be from July 2027 through June 2031. The City Council will consider the resolution to place the GPET on the ballot at their next regular business meeting, Monday, May 18.
