Jackson Hole Community Price Ranges & List of Tax Benefits

Wyoming’s wealth-friendly status as well as Jackson Hole’s lifestyle benefits have created incredible demand and diversity in housing options in Jackson. Recognized as a “World Heritage Site” by the U.N. and the Department of Interior; Jackson Hole represents some of the most renowned natural beauty and ecological significance on the planet. The economic benefits of our state are certainly rivaled only by the health and lifestyle benefits enjoyed by our residents.

OVER 97% OF TETON COUNTY’S 2.7 MILLION ACRES WHICH INCLUDE JACKSON HOLE IS PERMANENTLY PRESERVED in National Parks, National Forests, and other varieties of public land. This means that just 3% of the Jackson Hole valley is privately held and of that, over two-thirds is already developed or preserved through conservation easements. Jackson Hole’s commitment to retaining the character, lifestyle and natural resources of this area has resulted in the creation of a highly desirable community that continues to attract full and part time residents from around the world.

North OF THE TOWN OF JACKSON The Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club blends the rugged West with the country club lifestyle and boasts a Robert Trent-Jones II -designed golf course. As you continue north towards the airport, the area features subdivisions, such as Solitude and Upper and Lower Cascade which offers full views of the Teton Mountains. Many of these subdivisions are tucked off main roads and have Snake River access.

Price range is $500,000 – $20,000,000

Town OF JACKSON The Town of Jackson was named in 1894 after Davey Jackson, who spent a winter in the late 1800s on Jackson Lake. Today, residents enjoy a vibrant cultural scene, anchored by the $35 million Jackson Hole Center for the Arts. In addition to the cultural benefits and convenience, St. Johns Hospital is located to the east of the Town of Jackson and features top-of the line medical services and

Price range is $350,000 – $3,000,000

South OF THE TOWN OF JACKSON The area known as South Park is the open expanse of land that spreads south from Jackson Hole High School and High School Road. South Park offers property that can feel separated from town, but is actually quite convenient to the bike path and services of town. It features relatively affordable neighborhoods such as Rafter J and Melody Ranch; as well as more high-end, 3-Creek Ranch, the valley’s first completely private golf course, not to mention some of the last privately held ranch lands in Jackson Hole.

Price range is $500,000 – $12,000,000

Wyoming is one of the most tax-friendly states. 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, philanthropic-minded 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 farther, whether to buy real estate, leave property to our heirs or buy a new mountain bike.

Below is a list of top 10 tax benefits offered by Clay Geittmann, Senior Vice President and Manager of Trust Services at Bank of Jackson Hole, on why it’s good to own a home in Wyoming.

NO STATE INCOME TAX

With no state tax on personal or corporate income, “you have more disposable income,” Geittmann says.

DYNASTY TRUSTS

In Wyoming, you can shield your real estate from federal estate taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust. “You can establish a trust in Wyoming for the benefit of your family or other beneficiaries,” Geittmann says. “You can transfer your real estate into a limited liability company or family partnership and then put that into the dynasty trust, which can continue for a thousand years.” 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.

NO INHERITANCE TAX

Wyoming does not assess any state inheritance tax.

NO STATE GIFT TAX

“Somebody who owns property in Wyoming can ‘gift’ that real estate to their heirs without having to worry about paying a state gift tax,” Geittmann says.

NO TAX ON OUT-OF-STATE RETIREMENT INCOME

“A lot of people in Jackson Hole use Wyoming as a second home,” Geittmann says. “They have retirement income that comes from other states where they may be a resident. Wyoming does not tax that retirement income that’s 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, which is certainly beneficial.”

LOW PROPERTY TAXES

“Wyoming has very low property taxes compared to other states,” Geittmann says. “The taxes that you do pay here are based on the assessed value of the property.”

NO EXCISE TAXES

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.

NO TAX ON MINERAL OWNERSHIP

“A lot of states charge owners a tax on their mineral ownership, but Wyoming does not,” Geittmann says. “If you own minerals, you will not pay a tax on it like you would your home.”

NO INTANGIBLE TAXES

Wyoming doesn’t make you pay a tax on financial assets like stocks and bonds.

NO TAX ON THE SALE OF REAL ESTATE

Jackson Hole Homes for Sale Now in Hong Kong

Christie’s Appoints Landscope Realty Limited as the First Real Estate Affiliate in Southeast Asia

In February, I was proud to announce that those selling luxury Jackson Hole homes with Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates will be able to benefit from an expanded reach to the US, Europe, Africa, Canada, the Caribbean due to 10 new Christie’s International Real Estate affiliates. On April 12th, Christie’s announced another new affiliate with Landscope Realty Limited making the Hong Kong brokerage the first real estate affiliate in Southeast Asia! This gives JHREA sellers even more of a global presence online.

Landscope is the 13th brokerage to become an affiliate with Christie’s International Real Estate in the last six months. In addition to being the leader in luxury real estate sales in Hong Kong, Landscope also closed the highest residential sale of HK 728.88 million.

Koh Keng-Shing“We are honored to have been chosen to join the Christie’s International Real Estate network,” says K.S. Koh, Managing Director of Landscope. “Our existing prime position in the Hong Kong market is further strengthened by the ability to offer a pre-qualified real estate specialist service on acquisition and disposal of luxury properties worldwide from within our network. We can now also refer them to our Christie’s colleagues for art advice, as our ultra-high-net-worth clientele has diverse investment interests.

Celebrating its eighth year, the Tavistock Cup will return to Lake Nona-a Tom Fazio-designed course, which continually ranks among the top residential courses in the world and host to a number of international tournaments-to determine the World Golf and Country Club Champion. The competition between the Isleworth and Lake Nona country clubs and golf communities, both Exclusive Affiliates, was expanded just last year to include two international clubs: Albany, a new luxury resort in the Bahamas, and the exclusive Queenswood Club, a classic Surry heathland course outside of London. What makes this inter-club rivalry all the more exciting is that these four clubs represent the highest concentration of top-ranked golfers, collectively winning more than 825 worldwide victories, including 59 major championships.
