Wyoming's property tax deferral program allows for the delayed payment of up to 50% of property taxes owed on a principal residence on a parcel of less than 40 acres of land.

To be eligible, the homeowner must have limited income, be over 62 years old (or disabled), and have purchased the property at least 10 years before applying for the tax deferral. The program is administered at the county level.
