There are multiple Constitutional and Statutory references found in Wyoming law concerning taxation for schools. In the State Constitution under Article 15 §5, schools in Wyoming are granted a twelve mill levy; an additional six mills are levied for the purposes of maintaining and supporting public schools, pursuant to the Wyoming State Constitution Article 15 §17. Under Wyoming State Statute §21-13-102 a maximum rate of school district tax is set. For more information please visit with the Platte County Assessor and review PCSD #1's most recent budget.
