HostReadyThermopolis has no city-level short-term rental ordinance in our data, and we have no record of a Wyoming statewide preemption law governing STRs, so there is no specific state framework we can point you to. Wyoming applies a 9% state lodging tax to your bookings, broken down as 4% state sales tax plus a 5% state lodging tax. Because rules can change and local authorities may impose requirements not captured here, contact the Town of Thermopolis and Hot Springs County directly to confirm any permits, zoning rules, or additional local taxes that may apply.
