Rate Breakdown

Property taxes in Campbell County are calculated by multiplying the assessed value (minus exemptions) by the total local millage rate.

How Property Tax Works in Campbell County

In Campbell County, property taxes are calculated based on the assessed value of your property and the current mill levy (tax rate). The County Assessor's Office determines the assessed value, which is typically 9.5% of the property's fair market value for residential properties and 100% for mineral properties. The mill levy is set annually by local taxing entities, such as school districts, cities, and the county itself. To estimate your tax, multiply the assessed value by the total mill rate (expressed as a decimal). For example, if your home's market value is $300,000, the assessed value would be $28,500 (9.5% of $300,000). If the mill rate is 70 mills (0.070), your annual tax would be $1,995.

Available Exemptions

Wyoming and Campbell County offer several property tax exemptions to eligible residents:

• Homestead Exemption: Provides a reduction in taxable value for primary residences. Applicants must occupy the home as their primary dwelling.
• Senior Citizen Exemption: Available to residents aged 65+ with limited income. This exemption can reduce the taxable value of a primary residence by up to 50% or $3,000, whichever is greater.
• Veteran Exemption: Veterans with a service-connected disability may qualify for a partial or full exemption, depending on their disability rating.
• Disability Exemption: Individuals with permanent disabilities may be eligible for reductions similar to the senior exemption.

Applications for exemptions must be submitted to the Campbell County Assessor's Office by the annual deadline, typically April 1st.

Payment Schedule & Deadlines

Property taxes in Campbell County are due annually and can be paid in two installments:

• First Half: Due by November 10th.
• Second Half: Due by May 10th of the following year.

If taxes are not paid by the deadlines, penalties and interest will accrue at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% annually). Delinquent taxes may result in a tax lien or eventual foreclosure. Payments can be made online, by mail, or in person at the Campbell County Treasurer's Office.

Appealing Your Assessment

If you believe your property has been overvalued, you can appeal the assessment through the Campbell County Board of Equalization. The process involves:

• Step 1: Review your assessment notice, which is typically mailed in early spring.
• Step 2: File a written appeal with the County Assessor's Office within 30 days of the notice date.
• Step 3: Provide supporting evidence, such as recent comparable sales or an independent appraisal.
• Step 4: Attend a hearing with the Board of Equalization to present your case.

If unsatisfied with the board's decision, further appeals can be made to the State Board of Equalization or district court.
