2026.09.08 Fremont County, WY Commission Meeting - BOE Afternoon

The Fremont County, Wyoming Commission held a Board of Equalization meeting on September 8, 2026, primarily focused on property tax assessment appeals. Key procurement-related discussions involved the review and approval of property valuations and tax assessments. One major case involved a property owner contesting the assessed value of a 3.7-acre parcel, arguing that only 0.8 acres were buildable and that the tax valuation was disproportionately high compared to comparable parcels. The county assessor's office defended their valuation methodology, explaining the use of multiple regression analysis and adherence to state appraisal standards. The commission ultimately voted unanimously to uphold the assessor's valuation. Another appeal involved a taxpayer disputing the assessed value of an unfinished residential property in Shoshone, Wyoming, citing discrepancies in assessed values and concerns about property condition and comparable sales. The assessor's office presented detailed appraisal data and photographs, and the commission again voted to uphold the assessor's valuation. Several other protest cases were dismissed by motion. No new contracts, RFPs, or procurement actions were discussed during the meeting.
