What this benefit is

$6,000 of assessed value comes off — doubled from $3,000 for tax year 2025 — for wartime service OR any compensable service-connected disability, claimed fresh each May. It applies to the primary residence or, at your choice, to motor vehicle registration. A surviving spouse continues the exemption until remarriage.

What it's worth: $6,000 of assessed value (from tax year 2025), on the home or a vehicle

  • Wyoming assessed value is a fraction of market value, so $6,000 assessed shields roughly $60,000-plus of market value — worth a few hundred dollars a year.
  • The exemption applies to the property tax of the primary residence OR to motor vehicle registration. It is a choice, not both.
  • The deadline is the fourth Monday in May.
  • Three years of Wyoming residency are required.
  • A surviving spouse continues the exemption until remarriage.
  • The figure is $6,000 from tax year 2025. The Military Department's own benefits page still states $3,000 — that page is out of date and should not be relied on for the amount.

Who is entitled to it

  • You have a compensable service-connected disability — one of the two routes.
  • The exemption runs against your principal residence (or a vehicle).
  • Your home is in this state.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Claim with the county assessor by the fourth Monday of May — it must be claimed each year.
  2. 2Choose where it lands: the principal residence or a motor vehicle.
  3. 3Three years of Wyoming residency gate the claim; the wartime route needs no disability, and the disability route needs no wartime service.

CorrectionThe exemption doubled to $6,000 of assessed value for tax year 2025 under 2024 SF0089 — older guidance still says $3,000.
Worth knowingANY compensable service-connected disability is a route — no percentage floor — and the exemption can be pointed at a vehicle instead of the home. Wyoming also levies no income tax.

Sources

Why only one source type: County assessors administer the exemption; the Sublette County page states the routes, the residency rule, the annual May claim and the 2025 doubling in practice. The legislature’s SF0089 page carries the $3,000-to-$6,000 change.
