JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County Treasurer’s Office will hold the annual property tax lien sale on Aug. 2. Payments on outstanding balances can be made up until Aug. 1 at 4:30 p.m., the Treasure’s Office announced Tuesday, via press release.
According to the Treasure’s Office, outstanding balances still exist for 72 parcels in Teton County, as of July 24.
The sale will be held in the Teton County 4-H Building (Elizabeth McCabe 4-H Center) located at 255 W. Deloney starting at 9 a.m. on Aug. 2.
Information regarding the annual tax lien sale, delinquent parcels, payment options and procedures can be found at www.tetoncountywy.gov/treas, under the “Property Tax” heading.
“It can be difficult to track down individual owners or ownership entities when it comes to delinquent property taxes, so we want to make sure that we get the word out as much as possible prior to the annual Property Tax Lien Sale every year,” said Katie Smits, Teton County Treasurer. “Ideally, property owners can remedy the situation prior to a third party purchasing the tax lien for the parcel.”
During the 2023 Legislative session, Wyoming lawmakers expanded the property tax refund program. Under the expanded program, homeowners can apply for a refund of up to one-half of the median residential property tax amount or 75 percent of their property tax bill, whichever is less. The deadline was June 5. This spring, the County offered free assistance to community members to help them navigate the property tax refund process.
