Sales tax in Teton County, Wyoming

Updated

There is no single sales tax rate in Teton County. It runs from 7% to 9% depending on the exact address, because cities and special districts inside the county levy their own on top of the 4% state rate. The 4% state rate applies everywhere in the county; everything above that depends on where you are standing.

The two combined figures are the lowest and highest totals found anywhere inside the county. They are not a state rate plus a county rate added together, and adding the rows above will not reproduce them, because cities and special districts levy in between.

Why the rate here is not the whole story

Wyoming's state sales and use tax is 4 percent and Teton County levies a 1 percent general purpose county option tax and a 2 percent specific purpose county option tax, which together reach the 3 percent statutory ceiling on county option taxes, for a total of 7 percent. Teton County is the only Wyoming county where the rate is not uniform. Two resort districts, Teton Village and Grand Targhee, each levy a 2 percent resort district tax on sales made inside the district under W.S. 39-15-204(a)(v), which takes those two areas to 9 percent against 7 percent everywhere else in the county. The 9 percent applies only within those two resort district boundaries, not to Jackson or the rest of the county, so the ceiling should never be printed without saying where it applies. Teton County's own rate also rose from 2 percent to 3 percent on April 1, 2025. Wyoming county option taxes are approved by a county-wide referendum and carry a term that expires, either on a date or once a set dollar amount has been collected, so a county's rate can change at the start of any calendar quarter and rates more than a few months old go stale. The county line is not the tax boundary in Wyoming: under W.S. 39-15-204(a)(vii) any city or town may levy its own tax of up to 1 percent inside its limits, and under W.S. 39-15-204(a)(v) a resort district may levy up to 3 percent inside its boundaries. No Wyoming city levies today, since Casper's 1 percent municipal tax ended on June 30, 2026, and only the two resort districts in Teton County do. Wyoming exempts food for domestic home consumption from both the state and the county tax under W.S. 39-15-105, so groceries are untaxed while prepared food, alcoholic beverages and tobacco are not. Wyoming also charges a separate statewide and local lodging tax, which is a different tax and is not included in any rate here. The Department's own address level rate lookup is marked as still under construction, so the linked page is its rate chart and zip code chart instead.

How do I find the exact rate for an address in Teton County?

Because the rate changes within the county, an address is the only way to get it right. Use Wyoming's own lookup. A vendor's calculator is not the state speaking.

Who has to collect sales tax in Teton County?

A seller with a physical presence in Wyoming collects at the rate for the address where the sale takes place. A remote seller collects once it passes Wyoming's economic nexus threshold, which is a separate question from the rate and is covered on our sales tax nexus checker.
