Assumptions used

  • Jackson transient lodging assessment: The modeled stay is ordinary transient lodging in the Town of Jackson/Teton County boundary and includes the official 5% total lodging tax: 3% state-managed plus 2% Teton County.

What may change the final amount

  • Wyoming voter-approved lodging pennies and current rate row. Other Wyoming voter-approved lodging pennies, special districts, property classification, or a different address/rate-chart row may change the amount outside the Town of Jackson/Teton County scenario.
  • Teton County lodging layer. The 2% Teton County layer is included in the displayed 5% total for the Jackson/Teton County scenario; do not add it again. Verify the address if the property is outside this boundary.
  • Source-backed scope note. The calculator is scoped to Teton County/Jackson lodging and calculates the official 5% total once as separate 3% state-managed and 2% county components.
  • Local permission evidence is not a tax input. The official local program, zoning, licensing, inspection, permit, and enforcement sources are disclosed for the linked STR page; they do not create an additional calculator rate unless an official source establishes an exact tax rule.

Answer first

Start with the Jackson address and overlay boundary

Rentals under 30 consecutive days require a Town STR license and Basic Use Permit. First determine whether the address is inside the Lodging Overlay/Planned Resort area or outside it.

Outside-overlay rules are materially different: listed zones, annual notice within 200 feet, no more than three rentals and 60 rental nights per calendar year, and a December 31 BUP expiration are stated by the Town.

The Wyoming/Teton County tax estimate does not establish Town permission.

  • Local gate

    Town STR license plus Basic Use Permit The Town’s application and BUP pages are the action path; confirm fees and address-specific zoning before listing.

  • Modeled tax

    Wyoming state 3% plus Teton County 2% The calculator keeps local licensing and address-specific tax duties separate.

Local authorization

Choose the correct Town permission path

The overlay boundary controls which limits, notice, and renewal rules apply.

    Confirm whether the property is in the Lodging Overlay/Planned Resort area or an allowed outside-overlay zone.
