PILT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes)

Forty-nine percent of Wyoming is owned and managed by the Federal government. Federal lands are not subject to property taxes that support county governments and education; yet, local communities play an important role in supporting the management of federal lands. In 1976, Congress authorized federal land management agencies to share income with states and counties and provided a payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) program to help offset lost tax revenue

PILT payments are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The formula for calculating PILT payments is complex. The University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service publication Payment in Lieu of Taxes in Wyoming  outlines, in detail, the origins of the program and how the payments are derived. Fact sheets for each county, telling how the payments were calculated in a particular year, are also published (starting in 1998) so local governments and the general public can understand just where their federal dollars are coming from. In addition, the BLM has an area on their website devoted to questions and answers on PILT payments and a PILT Home Page.
