Property tax exemption-first responders.

HB 162 creates a $6,000 annual property tax exemption for first responders in Wyoming, directly affecting peace officers, dispatchers, firefighters, and ambulance personnel (both paid and volunteer) who own or occupy their primary residence. To qualify, claimants must submit proof of status (like an employer ID or pay stub) by May 4th each year and confirm ongoing eligibility annually with their county assessor. The exemption applies only to the primary residence and is limited to $6,000 per year in assessed value. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027, if passed.
