What is the Wyoming state lodging tax rate?

5% statewide. Wyoming applies 4% state sales tax to lodging plus a 5% statewide lodging tax (passed 2020, effective 2021), for a 9% state-level effective rate. Counties and cities can layer additional local lodging tax up to 4% — Teton County (Jackson Hole) is at 4%, Park County (Cody) at 2%. Airbnb collects state sales and lodging taxes under a voluntary agreement; Vrbo does not have a Wyoming agreement, so Vrbo bookings require host registration with the Department of Revenue and direct filing. Jackson's STR ordinance is among the strictest in the West, with primary-residence requirements in most zones.

How Wyoming lodging tax works

Wyoming stacks three layers on every short-term stay: a 4% state sales tax, a 5% statewide lodging tax (enacted 2021), and a local lodging tax of up to 4% added by counties. Combined effective rates run 9% to 13% — one of the simpler stacks in the country. Top STR markets:

Jackson / Teton County — 4% state + 5% statewide + 4% county = 13% effective. Wyoming’s highest-ADR market by a wide margin. Year-round demand from Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Average nightly rates in summer regularly clear $500+.
Cody (Park County) — 4% state + 5% statewide + 4% county = 13%. Yellowstone east-gate gateway.
Gardiner-adjacent Yellowstone gateway towns — Wyoming gateways to YNP all run 13%.
Cheyenne (Laramie County) — 4% state + 5% statewide + 2% county = 11%. Cheyenne Frontier Days drives one annual demand spike.
Casper (Natrona County) — 4% state + 5% statewide + 4% county = 13%.
Sheridan, Saratoga, Pinedale — typically 4% + 5% + 4% = 13%.

Stays of 30 consecutive nights or longer are exempt from state and local lodging tax.

Why Wyoming’s stack is “simple”

Three flat layers, no resort taxes, no per-night per-room fees, no special tourism districts. Unlike Montana (no general sales tax) or Colorado (Local Marketing District taxes), Wyoming has one statewide formula. Once you know your county’s local rate, every booking calculates the same way.

Platform collection

Airbnb collects and remits the 4% state sales tax, the 5% statewide lodging tax, AND most county lodging taxes in Wyoming under a marketplace facilitator agreement. Vrbo does not have a current statewide marketplace agreement — Vrbo hosts handle the full stack themselves.

What this means in practice

Airbnb hosts — full stack typically handled. Verify on your listing’s tax disclosure, especially the county lodging tax line.
Vrbo or direct-booking hosts — register with the Wyoming Department of Revenue for a sales/use tax license; file monthly. Local lodging tax may require separate county registration.
Jackson Hole hosts — Teton County tightened STR regulation in 2023 with new operational rules; the tax stack is the easy part, the permitting is the constraint.
30+ night stays — exempt from state and local lodging tax.

How to use the calculator above

Enter your booking subtotal (nightly × nights + cleaning fee, before tax).
Enter the local add-on rate. Teton (Jackson), Park (Cody), Natrona (Casper), Sheridan, and most resort counties run 4%; Laramie (Cheyenne) is 2%.
The result shows the effective rate, total tax, and the guest line item.
