Campbell County notes for business owners

Campbell County shows no local lodging tax on the October 2026 chart, so a motel room or crew housing rental pays 10 percent: the 5 percent sales rate plus the 5 percent statewide lodging tax. That is lower than most counties, and it matters if you house field crews on per-diem budgets.

Sales tax is 5 percent countywide, the 4 percent state rate plus the 1 percent general purpose option. Repair shops should know that W.S. 39-15-103(a)(i)(J) taxes services performed to repair, alter or improve tangible personal property, and subparagraph (K) reaches services at an oil or gas well site from production casing onward. Ask the Department of Revenue's taxability desk how your invoices are treated before the first one goes out.

The County Clerk is in a downtown Gillette building at a street address, and the city's own licensing is handled separately by the Gillette City Clerk. A corporation formed for a shop like this files Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for $100, then the board adopts bylaws and issues shares; a corporate kit keeps the stock ledger ready for the day a third owner buys in.
