What Taxes Apply to Wyoming Short-Term Rentals?

Wyoming STR hosts are subject to several types of taxes. Understanding which ones apply — and who collects them — is the first step toward compliance.

Sales Tax

Wyoming applies its state sales tax to short-term rental stays — currently at a base rate that contributes to combined lodging rates of 6%. Cities may add local sales tax on top.

Occupancy / Transient Lodging Tax

Wyoming's lodging/occupancy tax is the primary STR-specific tax. Combined rates reach 6% in Jackson Hole and 6% in Cody. This includes state, county, and city-level components.

Tourism / Convention Center Tax

While Wyoming doesn't have a prominent statewide tourism tax, some cities and resort areas may levy additional tourism development or marketing district assessments of 1–3%.

Federal Income Tax

Wyoming has no state income tax — a significant advantage for STR owners. Your net rental profit is only subject to federal income tax, reported on Schedule E (Form 1040). 2026 federal rates range from 10% to 37%.

Property Tax

Wyoming's average effective property tax rate is 0.61%. Assessed annually on market value. STRs may face higher assessments in some jurisdictions.

Important

Does Airbnb Collect and Remit Taxes in Wyoming?

Airbnb has agreements to collect and remit taxes in Wyoming — but coverage is not always complete.

Airbnb collects Wyoming's state-level lodging tax in most jurisdictions.
In Jackson Hole and Cody: Airbnb may or may not collect all county/city taxes.
Rural areas: You're often fully responsible for all local tax collection.
Even where Airbnb collects, you may owe additional local levies or special district taxes.

Bottom line: Never assume Airbnb handles all your Wyoming tax obligations. Verify with your local tax authority.

Compliance

City or county business license
Short-term rental operating permit
Lodging tax registration certificate
