Most Business-Friendly Tax Climate

Just outside of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming’s high plains and Montana’s border – Cody consistently ranks as the best location in the region for business, outdoor lifestyle and a great place to raise a family.

1. The Best Business Tax Structure

Cody’s not just another pretty place.  When you move your business here, you will benefit from a generous tax structure and other incentives designed to foster and grow business and success.

2. Endless Exploration

With over 50% of the state being public land, there is no shortage of access to recreation of all sorts! Bike trails, hiking trails, hunting areas, and so much more. And when you have more antelope than people in the whole state, crowds won’t be an issue.

3. It's Peaceful Here

The first thing new-comers say? Cody is so quiet and peaceful! With our hard-working spirit, and down-to-earth attitude, Cody is the perfect place for families and single-tons alike.

4. We're the Doorstep to Yellowstone

You don’t have to be a tourist to enjoy the world-renowned attractions in and around Cody. With Yellowstone only an hour away, wonderment never ceases and business thrives each year.

We choose to live where the stars are not only bright, but brilliant. We treasure this place where high speed communication merges with low speed lifestyle. We are happy to share this place, where climbing the ladder and climbing the mountain can (and does) happen in the same day!

Did you know that Cody is in an Opportunity Zone?

Every state has opportunity zones, but only Wyoming couples these federal advantages with state incentives like no personal or corporate income tax and low sales and property taxes.
