Proposed Initiative Proposition Number One: People’s Initiative to Limit Property Tax in Wyoming through a Homeowner’s Property Exemption
This measure would create a 50% property tax exemption for a qualified homeowner’s primary residence. It sets residency and occupancy rules, limits the exemption to one property and one claim per owner each year, requires a sworn claim with the county assessor, and sets penalties for false claims.
Official ballot wording
Shall a law be enacted: Establishing a property tax exemption for qualified homeowners’ primary residence in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the assessed value of the dwelling; AND Defining “homeowner” and “primary residence”; providing that no more than one exemption shall apply to a single property or be claimed by a single owner per year; requiring a homeowner to be a resident of Wyoming for at least one year and to have occupied the primary residence for at least six months of the previous tax year to qualify; requiring an initial sworn claim to be filed with the county assessor by the fourth Monday in May; providing for continuing the exemption in subsequent years through annually confirming eligibility; providing a penalty for false claims; clarifying that the exemption applies to the residential structure; and specifying applicability?
A YES vote would enact the proposed law and create the homeowner property tax exemption described in the ballot text.
A NO vote would reject the proposed law and keep current law unchanged.
Financial impact
Estimated state revenue decrease: Fiscal Year 2028 ($92,614,266); Fiscal Year 2029 ($95,855,766). The official voter guide says this estimate is for the State of Wyoming only and does not include political subdivisions.
Supporters’ strongest case
The official state materials I reviewed do not include a separate supporter statement. The strongest sourced case in favor, based on the official ballot text, is that the measure would provide a 50% property tax exemption on a homeowner’s primary residence and set defined eligibility rules and filing procedures.
Opponents’ strongest case
The official state materials I reviewed do not include a separate opponent statement. The strongest sourced case against, based on the official fiscal note, is that the measure is estimated to reduce state revenue by tens of millions of dollars in Fiscal Years 2028 and 2029, with additional impacts continuing while the exemption remains in place.
