The bill amends current property tax laws in Wyoming by establishing specific assessment rates for residential real property. It introduces a new definition for "owner occupied primary residence," which refers to residential real property where the owner resides for at least six months of the tax year. Additionally, it defines "residential real property" as real property improved by a dwelling designed for up to three families, including associated land owned by the property owner. The taxable value for residential real property, including owner-occupied primary residences, is set at nine and one-half percent (9.5%).

Furthermore, the bill makes conforming changes to the existing definitions and tax imposition sections, specifically renumbering certain subparagraphs and clarifying the taxable value for all other property, which remains at nine and one-half percent (9.5%). The new provisions will take effect for the tax year beginning January 1, 2025, and the act will become effective immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes.
