WYOMING — As of Jan. 1, 2022, Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails will start to collect sales and lodging taxes.
The new action is to comply with Wyoming State Statutes 39-15-101 and 39-15-201.
Tax rates vary by county and will be collected on fees for overnight camping, annual camping permits, reservations and overnight rental facilities such as cabins, lodges, yurts and treehouses.
“Wyoming State Parks has worked closely with the Department of Revenue to determine where taxes need to be applied to our fees in order to comply with state law,” Deputy Director Nick Neylon said.
Sales and lodging taxes help fund state and county government operating budgets as well as tourism efforts statewide. Past projects that have been supported have included aquifer protection, road maintenance, county library expansions and support of local government.
