***I looked into it already, actually. We're not sure we can handle the temperatures there! But I know it is beautiful. And although you have no state income taxes and properties seem very reasonable, I saw some high property taxes. Can you give me a rough percentage of what the prop. taxes are there?***

I should have a bunch more info available next week, but for now there's a lot of useful relocation info *here* and *here*. As for property taxes [no WY state income tax!] there's both state and local taxes:

Wyoming is one of the 38 states that collect property taxes at both the state and local levels. As in most states, local governments collect far more. Wyoming's localities collected $411,395,000 in property taxes in fiscal year 2000, the latest year for which the Census Bureau has published state-by-state data. That amounts to $833 per capita in taxes, or if measured as a percentage of income, $31 per $1,000 of income. Wyoming's local property taxes are 22nd highest in the nation by the per capita measure and 18th highest as a percentage of income. At the state level, Wyoming collected $101,396,000 in property taxes during FY 2000, making its combined state/local property taxes $512,791,000. That brings its per capita collection to $38 (ranked 12th nationally).
