Your Local Tax Dollars at Work! ❤️

What do your local taxes support?

In Wyoming, health and human services help keep communities healthy, safe and supported. These services include public health programs, health education and assistance for older adults, veterans, children and families in need.

The General Fund, supported by sales and property tax, helps local governments provide these essential services and respond to community needs.

These investments help prevent larger health issues, support residents during difficult times and strengthen Wyoming communities.
