Gold Star Veteran Exemption
SF0102-Surviving spouse/parents of gold star Veteran
Effective July 1, 2025, Wyoming offers a property tax exemption for the surviving spouse or surviving parents if there is no surviving spouse of military members who died in service, commonly referred to as the Gold Star Exemption.
This new benefit expands Wyoming's existing Veterans Property Tax Exemption, which previously only applied to the unremarried surviving spouse of qualifying combat veterans. The Gold Star exemption specifically targets family members of those who died while serving.
How to claim the exemption
Application: You must file an annual sworn claim with your local county assessor. (See Application here: /DocumentCenter/View/943)
Deadline: The application must be filed on or before the fourth Monday in May.
Documentation: You will need to provide documentation showing your eligibility.
Exemption amount
The Gold Star exemption provides the same benefit as the standard veterans' exemption.
Exemption amount: $6,000 reduction in the assessed value of either your primary residence or one motor vehicle registration.
Primary residence: The exemption can be used on the property where the surviving spouse or parents reside.
Motor vehicle: If not used on real property, the exemption can be applied to a vehicle's registration fee.
