Other Financial and Residency Requirements
There are a couple other requirements to receiving a refund you cannot have more than $156,900 in assets per adult household member. This includes investments, bank accounts, and other real estate but excludes a car for each adult household member, your home, and any retirement accounts. You must have paid 2023 property tax in full, have been a resident of Wyoming for five years and live in your Wyoming residence for at least nine months out of the year.
