Laramie County board holds hearing on 2026 mill levies; only four levies change

The Laramie County Board of Commissioners convened a special meeting for a public hearing on proposed 2026 mill levies, held pursuant to Wyoming statute 39-13-102. Assessor's office staff summarized the proposed changes and reported a total tax-dollar figure of $181,732,342. The record provided with the hearing did not specify the meeting date.

Assessor's office staff said the levy schedule showed limited movement. "So the mill levies, didn't really change a lot because most of them are already taking their full mills allowed," the assessor's office staff said, noting there were four changes in total. The presentation identified specific adjustments: the Laramie County Community College bond redemption rose 0.38 mills and bond and interest rose 0.02 mills; the Laramie County Fire Authority's principal rose 0.78 mills while its bond interest declined 0.06 mills.

A commissioner asked whether the county's total property-tax valuation was broken out by class — residential, commercial, industrial or state property — and the assessor's office staff replied that the figures in the packet were grouped together and that a class-by-class breakdown could be provided later upon request. The clerk read the hearing notice and statute, and staff confirmed there were no participants online or members of the public who came forward to speak during the hearing.

After the presentation and the commissioners' brief discussion, the clerk called roll and each commissioner was recorded as voting or responding 'aye' to the roll call. With no further business, Chairman Moll adjourned the special meeting.
