Property tax appeal · Laramie County, WY
Appeal your property taxes in Laramie County, WY.
Laramie County homeowners appeal through Wyoming’s system: the county assessor sets the value and the County Board of Equalization (then State Board of Equalization) hears the case.

The process
How Wyoming handles appeals.
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.
Worth knowing in Wyoming
Recent legislative sessions have layered new residential relief onto the system — exemptions and limits your assessor applies automatically — so the taxable math on your schedule may shift year to year. The appealable fact underneath is still market value.

Comparable sales as of the assessment date, adjusted for the differences between those homes and yours — potential supporting evidence. Check the reviewing authority’s rules for admissibility, valuation date, forms and filing. An appraisal does not guarantee a reduction.
