What do your local taxes support?

In Wyoming, health and human services help keep communities healthy, safe and supported. These services include public health programs, health education and assistance for older adults, veterans, children and families in need.

The General Fund, supported by sales and property tax, helps local governments provide these essential services and respond to community needs.

These investments help prevent larger health issues, support residents during difficult times and strengthen Wyoming communities.

What does it take to provide safe drinking water?

In Wyoming, clean and reliable water doesn't happen by accident. Small water systems must cover the costs of water testing, treatment, infrastructure, operations and regulatory requirements.

Municipal governing bodies are responsible for ensuring their water systems meet applicable requirements, and when enterprise-fund revenues or reserves are insufficient, particularly in an emergency, General Fund dollars may be needed to keep the system compliant and operating safely.

These critical community investments help protect public health, support local communities and businesses and keep Wyoming's water systems running strong.
