Washakie County notes for business owners
Washakie County charges 5 percent on sales and 12 percent on lodging. The clerk's office has both a street address on Big Horn Avenue and a P.O. box in Worland, so you can walk in or mail.
A custom harvesting LLC owns expensive equipment that county assessors list as business personal property. Under W.S. 39-13-107, the assessor collects a statement of taxable property each year starting January 1; if the list is not in by March 1, the assessor values it from the best information available. You can ask in writing by February 15 for an extension to April 1.
Crews that travel out of state for harvest season should check whether working in another state for months requires the LLC to register there. That depends on the other state's rules; we can file a foreign registration when you need one.
