We provide people aged 60+ with a comfortable place to socialize and meet their educational, nutritional, and physical needs in one place. For those unable to come to the center, we extend services to their homes and provide them with transportation services.

Property Tax Information for 2024
September 2024
If you have received your 2024 Property Tax bill, then you also received an insert that talked about a Long-Term Homeowners Exemption. I want to share some valuable information about this exemption.
You must pay your 2024 Property Taxes in full. The Long-Term Homeowners Exemption application that they are talking about will only affect your 2025 Property Taxes.
We will not know until after the State Legislative Budget Session whether there will be any money available for a Property Tax Refund for 2024 taxes. Once we know, we will let you know, and we will be helping with the applications.
For the Long-Term Homeowners Exemption
-
This exemption will reduce your property taxes by 50% on your primary residence and up to 35 acres of its residential land.
-
You must have paid property taxes somewhere in the State of Wyoming for the past 25 years. The application will require you to put the Tax Year, Address and County that you paid the taxes to prove that you have paid taxes for 25 years.
-
You, or your spouse, must be 65 years of age or older
-
You must have lived in the home for at least 8 months of the year (Snowbirds will qualify)
There are no income requirements, but you do have to fill out an application, which the Powell Senior Center will help you with. These applications must be submitted no later than the 4th Monday in May 2025. You must mail in a picture ID showing that you are over the age of 65, or you need to drop the application off at the County Assessors Office in Cody and show them a picture ID.
When you get your 2025 Tax Assessment in mid-2025, a 50% reduction will be applied, so you will only have to pay the amount that it shows for 2025.
The Long-Term Homeowners Exemption will be available for 2025 and 2026 taxes, but you need to fill out an application each year.
Applications are available at the County Assessors Office in Cody or here at the Powell Senior Center.
Sincerely,
Linda Dalton, Executive Director
Powell Senior Center

Wyoming Hunger Initiative Supports Our Seniors
June 2024
The Powell Senior Center has been awarded $5,000 from the Wyoming Hunger Initiative Infrastructure grant. This grant allowed us to install a new HVAC system. Our system was so old that it could no longer be maintained or repaired. During this past winter, with temperatures below zero, the conditions upstairs at the Senior Center were unpleasant. We now have heat for the winter and air conditioning for the summer.
First Lady Jennie Gordon, and the Wyoming Hunger Initiative have been such advocates for the Powell Senior Center and our community members. We have received money to help with food costs for our Thanksgiving meal, our Christmas meal, and our Easter meal. Earlier this year, when our reach in freezer went down, the Wyoming Hunger Initiative and the Wyoming Governor’s Residence Foundation awarded the Powell Senior Center $4,500 to help pay for a replacement freezer.
The Wyoming Hunger Initiative’s mission is to end hunger in Wyoming! This organization is such a valuable non-profit organization. All donations to the Wyoming Hunger Initiative will go to help residents in every community in Wyoming.
With Much Appreciation,
Linda Dalton, Director Powell Senior Center
