Housing (Tenant Rights)

HB 183 (Renters' Property Tax Relief) expands eligibility for Wyoming's property tax refund program to include renters of their principal residence, not just homeowners. To qualify, renters must meet income limits (not exceeding 145% of their county’s median household income), have total household assets under $150,000 (adjusted annually), and provide proof they are not behind on rent. The bill caps refunds at 75% of the prior year’s property tax paid or half the county’s median residential tax liability, whichever is lower. It becomes effective January 1, 2027, and requires the Department of Revenue to establish rules for implementation.
