SF 68 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Government owned lands.

Wyoming's SF 68 creates a temporary tax exemption for all state-owned lands, making them exempt from property taxes regardless of their use (e.g., parks, buildings) starting January 1, 2025, but this exemption expires January 1, 2027. The bill also establishes a task force to study government property tax exemptions - including historical practices and a recent court decision - and recommend changes to make tax treatment uniform across state, local, and other government properties. The task force must report its findings by October 1, 2025, and includes members appointed by legislative leaders and the governor. This bill does not affect taxes on improvements to land or other government-owned property (like cities or schools), and it appropriates $65,000 total for task force operations.
