Sublette County notes for business owners

Sublette County has the lowest combined rates on the chart. Sales pay the 4 percent state rate with no county option, and lodging outside Pinedale pays 9 percent, the lowest lodging figure anywhere in Wyoming on the October 2026 chart. Inside Pinedale, the town's 2 percent local lodging tax makes it 11 percent.

A couple with a short-term rental and a plowing service has two very different risks: a guest injury and a vehicle accident. One LLC can hold both, but a second LLC for the rental property, or a series under a single LLC, keeps one claim away from the other business's assets. A series costs $10 per series designated.

The Sublette County Clerk lists both a P.O. box and a street location on South Tyler Avenue in Pinedale. Record any deed for the rental in the LLC's exact registered name.
