Commission Urges Residents to Apply for Property Tax Programs

News – Sheridan Media

Sheridan County Commission Chair Lonnie Wright and Commissioner Christi Haswell are reminding residents that property tax exemptions created by the Wyoming Legislature remain in effect for the 2026 tax year but now require homeowner action.

According to Sheridan County Assessor Paul Fall, the statewide homeowner exemption—which reduces a qualifying residence’s fair market value by 25% on up to the first $1 million—was applied automatically in 2025. This year, however, homeowners must notify the Assessor’s Office that the property is their primary residence to continue receiving the exemption.

Haswell used her appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to remind homeowners of the change.

Applications for all property tax programs opened Oct. 1. The deadline for the 25% homeowner exemption is Feb. 2, while the deadlines for the 50% long-term homeowner exemption and the veteran exemption are both May 26.
