House committee keeps long‑term homeowner property tax exemption, adds $3 million cap and portability The Committee of the Whole advanced a revised long‑term homeowner tax exemption bill that moves the application date to March 1, allows phone renewals, repeals the sunset and introduces a $3,000,000 fair market value cap and portability so the exemption can follow an owner who moves within Wyoming.
