County Optional Tax
Counties can levy up to 2% additional sales tax through voter approval. These funds are used for local infrastructure, public safety, and community projects.
Important: The specific rate varies by county. Some counties impose the full 2%, while others may levy 1% or no additional tax at all. Always check the rate for your specific county.
Combined rates: With the 4% state rate and up to 2% county tax, Wyoming's total sales tax ranges from 4% to 6%.
How County Tax Works
County optional taxes must be approved by voters in a general or special election. The revenue is designated for specific purposes such as road improvements, public facilities, or general county operations. Counties can choose to impose a 1% or 2% tax, and these are periodically renewed through voter approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
How has Wyoming's sales tax rate changed over time?
Wyoming's sales tax has been 4.000% since 1993. Here's how the rate has evolved since its adoption:
| Effective Date | Rate | Change | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1998 | 4.000% | — | Current rate maintained |
| 1993 | 4.000% | ▲ +1.00% | Rate increased from 3% |
| 1967 | 3.000% | ▲ +1.00% | Rate maintained for decades |
| 1935 | 2.000% | — | Sales tax first enacted |
Historical note: Wyoming enacted its sales tax in 1935 at 2%. The rate gradually increased to 3% in 1967, then to the current 4% in 1993. Wyoming has maintained this relatively low rate for over 30 years, reflecting the state's conservative approach to taxation and its reliance on mineral extraction revenues rather than sales tax.
