Teton County notes for business owners
Teton County has the highest county sales rate in Wyoming, 7 percent: the 4 percent state rate, 1 percent general purpose and a 2 percent specific purpose option. Inside the two resort districts, Teton Village and Grand Targhee, a 2 percent resort district tax applies to all taxable sales and services, for 9 percent, and lodging there totals 14 percent.
A property manager collecting nightly rent for owners must know which district each unit sits in. A condo in Teton Village is taxed differently from a house in town or in the county, and Grand Targhee changes on January 1, 2027. Build the district into each listing's tax setting rather than using one rate for the portfolio.
The Teton County Clerk takes mail at P.O. Box 1727 in Jackson. The Town of Jackson requires its own business license for anyone conducting business inside town limits, with fees set by employee count; that is a separate step from forming the LLC.
