Fremont County notes for business owners
Fremont County's rate is changing to an unusual number. From January 1, 2027 an economic development option of 0.75 percent is added, so the sales rate becomes 5.75 percent and lodging 12.75 percent. Point-of-sale systems that only accept whole or half percentages need to be updated before New Year's Day.
A gear shop that also rents equipment has two kinds of taxable transactions, sales and rentals, and an online store adds shipments to customers in other counties. Under the sourcing rules in W.S. 39-15-104, a sale not received at your shop is generally sourced to where the buyer receives it, so an online order shipped to a 6 percent county is not taxed at the Lander rate. The Department of Revenue can confirm how your sales are sourced.
The Fremont County Clerk's office is in Room 220 of the courthouse on North 2nd Street in Lander. The clerk handles recordings and county liquor licensing; the LLC itself is filed with the Secretary of State.
