Learn moreNO State Individual Income Tax -- A True, Complete Absence
Wyoming levies NO state individual income tax at all -- a real, current, complete absence, not merely a low rate. This record discloses this precisely as a genuine structural difference from several of this project's other Tier A+ markets, and Wyoming ranks #1 overall on the Tax Foundation's 2026 State Tax Competitiveness Index.
A Combined Sales Tax of Just 5.0%
Wyoming's state sales tax rate is 4.0%. Campbell County adds a real, current 1.0% county tax, and the City of Gillette adds NO additional city-level sales tax, for a combined rate of just 5.0% -- a genuinely low combined rate this record did not independently benchmark against a precise national comparison figure this pass.
Property Tax Runs the Same Favorable Direction
As detailed on the property-taxes topic page, Campbell County's own cited median effective property tax rate (~0.57%) runs dramatically below both the Wyoming statewide median (~0.53%) and this project's ~1.02% national comparison figure -- a real, unambiguous advantage this record discloses without needing to soften it.
A Real, Disclosed Gap: Severance and Mineral Taxes
This record did not independently research Wyoming's severance and mineral-tax structures, which fund much of the state budget in place of an individual income tax -- a real, disclosed gap, though one that falls on industry rather than individual residents' income or property directly.
