Welcome to Brooks Lake Lodge Brooks Lake Lodge has a colorful history, rich in the tradition of the Great Western Lodge, which began with the grand built-into-nature structures of nearby Yellowstone National Park. In the 1920’s, what began as a stop-over for weary travellers soon evolved into a destination resort named the Diamond G Ranch. It operated as a dude ranch where wealthy Easterners would come to get their hands dirty and experience the spirit of the “true West.” With renewed interest in rustic vacations during the 80’s, the lodge underwent a major restoration. Soon it became nationally recognized for both its unique allure as a wilderness getaway and its rich cultural history. The lodge has recently been restored again and the current owners are dedicated to continuing the tradition of the Great Western Ranch and preserving the Western Craftsman style.

IF THAT WEREN’T ENTICING ENOUGH, THERE ARE STRONG FINANCIAL REASONS TO LIVING IN JACKSON HOLE TOO. There are plenty of reasons to be thankful for owning a home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming: the mountains, the rivers, two national parks and three ski resorts, art galleries and restaurants, a charming Western-style downtown, and a close knit, philanthropicminded and fun loving community. As enviable as our lifestyle is here, reality does intrude occasionally, as it will in mid-April when we pay our taxes. But even in that area, we as Wyoming residents are better off than most. After all, Wyoming has been cited by Bloomberg Wealth Management magazine as the most tax friendly state in the country. We can stretch our hard-earned dollars further, whether buying real estate, leaving property to our heirs or buying a new mountain bike.

Wyoming does not assess any state inheritance tax. Wyoming repealed its estate tax as of January 1, 2005.
In Wyoming, you can shield your real estate from federal estate taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust, which can be established in Wyoming for the benefit of your family or other beneficiaries. You can transfer your real estate into a limited liability company or family partnership and then put that into the dynasty trust. As a result, multiple generations can make use of and enjoy the property, without having to pay estate taxes or worse, having to sell the property in order to pay the taxes. A key point to remember: The trust must be administered in Wyoming.
LOW PR O PE RTY TAXE S Wyoming has very low property taxes compared to other states. The taxes that you do pay here are based on the assessed value of the property.
NO E XCISE TAXE S When you fill up your car with gas or buy a bag of groceries in Wyoming, you will not pay any state tax on your gas or food.

People in Jackson Hole who use Wyoming as a second home may have retirement income that comes from other states where they are a resident. Wyoming does not tax that retirement income earned outside of Wyoming, and if the participant is a resident of Wyoming when they take that income then the original state cannot tax that income either.
Many states charge owners a tax on their mineral ownership, but Wyoming does not.
NO INTANG IBL E TAXE S Wyoming doesn’t make you pay a tax on financial assets like stocks and bonds.
