Wyoming military members could qualify for property tax exemptions

The proposed bill would let eligible veterans and current military members claim a property tax exemption. Veterans must have an honorable discharge and at least 18 consecutive months of active duty in the U.S. armed forces or service in the Wyoming National Guard. Current active or reserve members of either force must be in good standing. Applicants must be bona fide Wyoming residents, but the printed text gives conflicting residency durations: three years and one year. Current members must be in good standing, meaning they completed a creditable year toward military retirement in the calendar year before applying. If enacted, the exemption would first apply to the tax year beginning January 1, 2026.
