Checked against state sources · July 16, 2026
- At a 100% permanent & total rating
- An exemption of $6,000 of assessed value on real or personal property for qualifying veterans, doubled from $3,000 by a 2024 law effective with the 2025 tax year. Wyoming assesses homes at 9.5% of market value, so this shields roughly $63,000 of home value.
- Below 100%
- Not rating-tiered: qualifying wartime or expeditionary service (or a service-connected disability) earns the same flat amount.
- Income test
- None. The exemption does not depend on your income.
- Surviving spouses
- An unremarried surviving spouse can claim the exemption.
- How to apply
- Claim with your county assessor each year (traditionally by the fourth Monday in May) with your discharge papers; Wyoming residency requirements apply, and the assessor confirms the details.
- Worth knowing
- Small in dollars (a few hundred a year at typical mill levies), but it can apply to a vehicle instead of the home if that helps more. Wyoming's overall property taxes are low to begin with.
Before you count on this: exemption law changes by legislative session, and counties administer the details. Confirm current amounts and deadlines with your county assessor or the official source below. Figures on this page were checked July 16, 2026.

A property-tax exemption lowers the monthly payment a lender counts in your file, which can raise what you qualify for.
