30 days from the postmark on your assessment schedule, which county assessors mail in the spring. Your assessment notice states the exact date for Laramie County.
Wyoming county assessors mail an assessment schedule each spring showing the fair market value of your property, and you have 30 days from its postmark to file an appeal with the assessor’s office. Cases the assessor doesn’t resolve are heard by the County Board of Equalization — the county commissioners sitting as a review panel — with the State Board of Equalization above it. Residential property is taxed on 9.5% of fair market value, so the schedule’s market value line is the number in dispute. The homeowner bears the burden of showing it’s wrong, and boards credit adjusted comparable sales as of January 1 — the working contents of a licensed appraisal — over tax-bill comparisons with the neighbors.
Comparable sales as of the assessment date, adjusted for the differences between those homes and yours — the substance of a licensed appraisal. County Board of Equalization (then State Board of Equalization) panels see hundreds of cases; a signed, USPAP-compliant report is the document they can act on.
We’re not an AVM, a computer model, or a real-estate agent estimate. Every report is prepared under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and signed by a licensed appraiser in your state — the same qualification required for mortgage appraisals.
