Converse County notes for business owners
Converse County's sales rate is 5 percent and lodging totals 12 percent. A contractor based in Douglas who works in other counties should know that the county option portion follows the location of the sale or the job, so a job in a 6 percent county is not billed at the Douglas rate. The rate chart lists every county side by side; we link it on this page.
Contractor licenses in Wyoming's larger towns come from the town itself (Cheyenne, Laramie and Gillette each run their own contractor licensing), so a Douglas welding LLC may need a separate license in each town it works in. Build that into your bid calendar; the LLC itself only needs to be formed once with the Secretary of State.
The Converse County Clerk is at a street address on North 5th Street in Douglas. Recording, county liquor licensing outside towns and elections run through that office.
