Short-term rental taxes in Wyoming

What you charge guests, who remits it, and what you have to hold.

Five stacked layers of short-term rental rules. From the bottom: state, county, city, special districts, and HOA and CCRs. The state layer is marked, the one this page covers.

Step one of five

Wyoming is the layer that never changes.

Everything on this page applies right across Wyoming, wherever the property sits. That makes it the one part you can settle before you know the address.

The four layers above it are the ones that move: county, city, special purpose districts, then private rules like an HOA or a neighbourhood covenant that appear in no government database at all. Two properties on opposite sides of the same street can owe different totals.

Run your address for the other four

What Wyoming charges statewide

These apply across Wyoming. Counties and cities add their own on top, which is where the totals diverge.
