Wyoming state land gets temporary tax relief

The law took effect immediately and exempts all Wyoming state-owned land from property taxes regardless of use, beginning January 1, 2025. This broader exemption covers the 2025 and 2026 tax years and ends January 1, 2027. The existing government-purpose exemption remains, including leased state school lands and state lands leased for agriculture. The new exemption does not prevent taxing other property that does not qualify under the existing government-purpose rule. It provides no direct household tax break.
