Commissioners approve placing 1% '5th Penny' sales tax renewal on November ballot
Summary
Albany County commissioners approved Resolution 2026-016 to renew the optional one percent general-purpose county sales tax (the '5th Penny') on the November 3, 2026 ballot for the period January 1, 2027–December 31, 2030.
On July 7 the Albany County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-016 to place renewal of the general-purpose optional one percent county sales and use tax (commonly known as the '5th Penny') on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. Commissioner Hoff moved to approve the resolution and the motion carried by roll call vote (Hoff, Gosar and Chairperson Terri Jones Aye).
The resolution cites Wyoming Statute § 39-15-204(a)(i) and related provisions and specifies the tax would be imposed for a four-year term if approved by voters, covering January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2030. The minutes include formal ballot question wording under GENERAL PURPOSE ONE PERCENT (1%) SALES AND USE TAX PROPOSITION.
The meeting minutes do not include projected revenue estimates or discussion of allocation for revenue generated by the tax; placing the renewal on the ballot starts the election process.
