(a) Taxpayers may claim exemption on the basis of one or more statutory provisions. Careful analysis of the ownership and use of the property is required. - (i) For example, museum property may be exempt because: it is a public municipal museum operated for a governmental purpose under W.S. 15-1-103 and W.S. W.S. 39-11-105(a)(v); it is a public county museum operated for a governmental purpose under W.S. W.S. 18-10-101 and W.S. W.S. W.S. 39-11-105(a)(iii); it is property of a special museum district under W.S. W.S. W.S. 18-10-201 and W.S. W.S. 39-11-105(a)(xvi); or it is owned by a nonprofit entity qualifying as a charitable association and operated on a noncommercial basis under W.S. W.S. 39-11-105(a)(xli). Under this example only one exemption is applicable based on ownership and operation.
- (ii) Under appropriate circumstances more than one exemption provision may apply, (e.g. an entity may be both a school and a nonprofit charitable and benevolent entity owning property for a non-commercial use).
- (iii) Different criteria are applicable and each shall be separately and carefully analyzed in making an exemption determination.
