Senate File 69

Local residents in Wyoming may see a 50% cut in property taxes, but debate over backfill for local governments continues.

The House also laid back a deciding vote on a bill to cut residential property taxes in half on Friday.

Find out the key points of contention between the Wyoming House and Senate over the residential property tax bill SF 69.

Those moves potentially put the House version of the bill on a collision course with the Senate bill, which has no back fill at all.

But some supporters of property tax relief say local officials are trying to scare people with alarmist predictions

Sheriff Kozak is asking people to "let your legislators know that you do not want them to California our Wyoming."

Notably, the final version of the bill contains no backfill from the state for lost revenues to local governments.
