Veteran's Exemption

The State of Wyoming allows a Veteran’s Exemption on Property Taxes.  The exemption allows for a $3,000.00 reduction in assessed value with no maximum.  Eligibility is based on the following:

1. You must be a Wyoming resident, currently and for the past three years.
2. You must be an Honorably Discharged Veteran or widow of a qualifying Veteran that served within on the specified time periods listed below.

If you are using the Veteran’s Exemption for property tax, the completed and notarized form and all documentation required must be received by our office no later than the fourth Monday in May.  Documents received after this date will be used for the following year.

For Vehicle Registration use, there is not a deadline; however, the credit is applied yearly January 1 – December 31.  The notarized form and all documentation must be filed with the Assessor’s Office prior to utilizing the exemption in the Treasurer’s Office.

Along with the completed and notarized Veteran’s Exemption Form, our office also requires your submission of the following:

1. A copy of your current Wyoming Driver’s License
2. Proof of Residency for the last 3 years (through either voter or vehicle registrations) with one copy for each year.  Voter Registrations can be obtained from the County Clerk’s office.  Vehicle Registrations can be obtained from the County Treasurer’s office.
3. A copy of the Discharge papers (Form DD214)

The Veteran’s Exemption Form* is available in our office and now available to the public online.
