Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to taxation and revenue; exempting specified real property owned by the Wyoming game and fish commission from property taxation; amending a special tax on real property owned by the Wyoming game and fish commission that is used for other purposes; specifying applicability; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Wyoming tax law to modify property tax exemptions for real estate owned by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission (WGFC). Currently, WGFC-owned property is generally exempt from property taxation, but the bill clarifies that properties used for wildlife management purposes or provided as employee residences will be subject to a special tax calculation. For wildlife management properties, the existing special tax provisions will continue to apply, while for employee residences, the tax will be calculated based on the ad valorem (property) tax rate that would be applied to similar properties at fair market value. The bill does not affect any tax assessments or collections before January 1, 2027, and will become effective on that date. This legislation aims to provide more specific guidance on how WGFC-owned properties are taxed, ensuring a clear and consistent approach to property taxation for the commission's real estate holdings.
