Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Fremont County as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
Most of the market's rise reached the bill
The effective rate here moved 11.2% down between 2020 and 2024, a smaller shift than in 54% of U.S. counties. With the median home value rose 37.5%, the median bill rose 22.1% to $1,671: the rate did comparatively little to offset the market.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $1,369 to $1,671, a gain of 22%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 2,520 of 10,547 owner-occupied homes (23.9%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
Both figures cluster near the middle of the national range, and the median bill comes to 2.6% of median household income. Counties like this are the reason a national average exists at all, and also the reason it explains so little.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
What Fremont County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Fremont County homeowners, 2,520 of 10,547 owner-occupied homes (23.9%), pays $800 to $1,499 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 14.5% (1,528)
- $800 to $1,499 23.9% (2,520)
- $1,500 to $1,999 18.5% (1,952)
- $2,000 to $2,999 17.4% (1,836)
- $3,000 or more 15.2% (1,599)
Census ACS 2024, table B25102. Bands and the no-tax share sum to 100%.

Close to the Wyoming median on both measures
Rate and bill both land within 10% of the Wyoming medians here, which makes Fremont County a reasonable stand-in for the state when comparing against counties elsewhere. It also means the county-level figure adds little beyond the state figure for this particular comparison; the $1,671 median bill and the state median tell substantially the same story.

Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.
