WyomingRenters could apply for property tax refunds under program rules
If enacted, the bill would let renters apply for refunds for their main homes under the property tax program, subject to its eligibility rules and available funding.
What it does
A renter could apply for a refund for a rented home that is their main residence, if they meet the program's other rules. Any refund depends on lawmakers setting aside money.
Argument forRenters who otherwise qualify could seek a refund for their main home because the bill recognizes that rent helps pay property taxes.
Argument againstRenters who meet the program's rules could still receive no refund if lawmakers do not set aside money for the program.
