Common questions

How are property taxes figured in Natrona County?

The county assessor sets your home's value, a state assessment rate is applied to it and local mill levies are applied to that. The Natrona County Assessor and Treasurer can give you the exact figures for a property.

What loan programs can help me buy in Wyoming?

Common options include conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans, plus Wyoming Community Development Authority programs for qualifying buyers. A local lender can tell you which ones fit.

No. Many loan programs allow much less, and VA and USDA loans can allow zero down for qualifying buyers. A smaller down payment can mean mortgage insurance, so ask your lender to compare.
