Enacts a property tax exemption for a qualified homeowner's primary residence equal to 50 percent of the dwelling's assessed value. To qualify, the owner must have lived in Wyoming at least one year and occupied the home at least six months of the prior tax year; one exemption per property and per owner, claimed by sworn statement to the county assessor by the fourth Monday in May and confirmed annually, with a penalty for false claims. The Secretary of State's ballot summary estimates a state revenue decrease of about $92.6 million in fiscal year 2028 and $95.9 million in fiscal year 2029, not counting impacts on local governments.
