The Property ID and the CAMA ID are designed to link the DOR’s Veteran Exemption program back to RealWare.  To make this happen, the Assessor will need to use the RealWare Account number.

 

Please note, many of the RealWare account numbers in use will undoubtedly be duplicated across county jurisdictions.  It is important that the county posting the claim ensure that the County of...

No.  Veterans who served on active duty during the specific timeframes for these conflicts are not required to have served in a combat zone or to provide a combat medal.  All veterans serving after the Vietnam conflict are required to provide documentation that shows receipt of a qualifying award or medal.

Yes, as long as the veteran and/or widow(er)s name appears on the title.

In this case, both veterans qualify for the benefit.  In Wyoming, because the two are married and are listed on the deed, both may receive the yearly benefit on the same property.  Granted, this is more of an unusual circumstance, however, the benefit is primarily driven off of the individual veteran’s eligibility.  In this case, because the property is their primary residence, they...

Yes.  This statute was changed in 2008 and is now allowed.  The veteran's name must appear on the title, this new statutory language creates a number of different opportunities for the veteran to use the exemption.

December marks the one year anniversary for the Wyoming CAMA website.  Since its inception, the website has experienced nearly 160,000 hits!  That translates to a little over 13,000 hits per month.  Not bad if you consider the fact that we presently maintain only 39 users.  This is probably a testament to the site’s wider scope of appeal.

 

Subsequently, the site seems to...

A. There are a couple of items that need to be taken care of to add additional RealWare users.

    a. First, you will need to obtain additional Oracle Licenses for each user.  The Department of Revenue will provide the license if the user is a full-time staff member in the County Assessor’s Office.  If the user is outside of the County Assessor’s Office (e.g. Treasurer’s...

Yes.  According to WS 39-13-105(a), a veteran has to be a “bona fide Wyoming residents for at least three (3) years at the time of claiming the exemption…”.  Consequently, if the veteran moved and took residency in another state for any period of time, he or she would have to re-establish their Wyoming residency requirement. 

 

Titled mobile homes should be listed under an “M” account type in RealWare. This account type is specifically earmarked for titled mobile homes. “M” accounts will receive a separate Assessment Notice from Real Property (“R” accounts in RealWare), and are conveyed as a separate item from Real Property to the tax roll, unless the Assessor uses the “Group Account” function to group to group an “M” account...

When utilizing the cost approach counties are to appraise custom log homes as specified by Marshall & Swift in their publication, "Log Home Appraisal Training Guide." This guide instructs the appraiser how to value a custom log home using the Residential Cost Handbook. The Property Tax Division has purchased a copy of this training guide for every county. They will be forwarded to each...

To ensure uniformity in the CAMA system, all enhancements are managed together for the entire State.   The best way to request an enhancement is to post your comments in the Enhancement Requests area of the CAMA website, not directly to CCI!

 

Once your enhancement has had time to gather comments, a call for an Assessors vote will be posted.  The trick here is that all enhancement...

There are certain tables in RealWare that we recommend you update at the beginning of each year. These are recommendations only, so update only the tables you think are important to your jurisdiction.
 
This maintenance can be done in either December or January and should be updated to the next year.  For example in Dec 2005 or Jan 2006, the tables should be updated with data for 2007. ...

It is possible under certain conditions.  There are those cases where individuals who served as a merchant marine during World War II have received veteran status at the federal level.  If merchant marines served during the statutory dates and received a discharge document for their service, they may qualify for Wyoming Veteran Exemption.  If the individual does not have a DD214, they...

No.  At the time of exemption request, the veteran must prove compensable service disability as certified by the veterans administration or a branch of the armed forces.  The veteran needs to show a VA card or call the veteran administration for confirmation.  Since "Disabled" is one of three qualification types and there is no longer any monetary reason to specifically identify...

Yes, Apex will do this functionality.  Simply open Apex separately and define the drawing as "Site Survey".  Remember, Apex is one of the products contained within the suite of applications that the State provides as part of the CAMA project.

No, by remarrying the widow has relinquished all claims to her former husband's name and benefits.  Statute requires that the widow have not remarried.

 

The veteran could apply their exemption against any number of vehicles as long as the total accessed value does not exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000). 

 

Should the veteran apply for a prisoner of war or disabled veteran plate, he or she can only apply the exemption against one vehicle.

In the past, Wyoming Counties were able to initiate a rebuild of their local DataMart at any time.  However, recently several issues have been uncovered that make this practice impractical.  Due to some security concerns and the overall fragile nature of the nightly data replication to the State, this ability has been indefinitely suspended.

 

Regardless, the current DataMart replication...

Currently, the standard back-up strategy is to have Oracle create a nightly export file (in a .dmp file format) of all the data in your database.  The Assessor is then encouraged to back-up that export file to another media (disk, dvd, tape, etc.) and to periodically store that media off-site.  The export process in Oracle also creates a log file, which will provide a status (including any...

No.  The key here is the property designation of commercial.  In order to receive the veteran exemption, the property needs a residential designation.  A residential property could be defined as a single family structure, duplex, triplex,  condominium, townhouse or manufactured structure.  Remember, this qualification may also extend to agricultural homestead sites...

The veteran does qualify as a disable veteran under W.S. 39-13-105(c)(vii).  But, does not qualify under the statute by not being "honorably discharged from military service", W.S. 39-13-105(d).  However, the veteran met the VA requirement of federal service in order to qualify for compensable disability.  The veteran must obtain and show documentation on how the VA arrived...

No, e-mail is not a security means of communication.  You can use the veteran's name and their veteranid number from the system.  Should the administrator need additional information, they will contact you directly.

Normally the answer is No.  This group is one of seven uniformed services but is under the direction of United States Department of Health and Human Services.  However, Officers of PHS are classified as non-combatants UNLESS directed to serve as part of the armed services by the President.  As with all Veteran’s this individual would need to provide documentation of such a directive...

By statute, the discharge document should list any and all expeditionary medals.  There are numerous medals and ribbons a service man or woman can receive.  Only expeditionary medals are awarded for combat situations.  If the veteran feels that their discharge document is in error, they need to contact the Wyoming Veterans Commission.  The Veterans Commission will assist the veteran...

No.  National Guard units normally do not serve under the terms of Title 10 of the US Code.  In this scenario, the individual may have received the training from regular armed services.  However, this education/training is not considered full-time active duty.  Note, this exemption is directly designed to benefit those veteran's who honorably served on active duty in a...

In this case, both.  Granted, this is a most unusual circumstance, however, the benefit is primarily driven off of the individual veteran's eligibility.  The applicant qualifies as veteran then as a widow(er).  As long as, the exemption application is on the primary residence, applicant meets the residency requirement and has not remarried.
