Cheyenne charges a 4 percent city lodging tax on stays under 30 days plus the 4 percent Wyoming state lodging tax, totaling about 8 percent on hotel and short-term rental bookings, with no general sales tax addition.
Cheyenne and Laramie County impose a 4 percent local lodging tax under Wyo. Stat. §39-15-204 used to fund tourism promotion through Visit Cheyenne. The State of Wyoming charges an additional 4 percent statewide lodging tax effective 2021 under Wyo. Stat. §39-15-211. Combined, lodging totals approximately 8 percent on hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and short-term rentals booked for under 30 days. Wyoming does not impose a general sales tax additionally on lodging. Stays of 30 days or more typically qualify as residential rentals exempt from lodging tax. Hosts and operators must register with WY Department of Revenue and remit monthly.
Failing to collect and remit the 4 percent city plus 4 percent state lodging tax, or misclassifying short stays as long-term rentals, triggers DOR audits, back taxes, penalties, and interest.
