Why buy in Jackson?

Rarity:  Jackson Hole is unlike any other area in the United States. It is part of the 18 million acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, an area of stunning natural beauty, abundant wildlife and diverse ecosystems.  Additionally, more than 97% of the 2.7 million acres of the land in Teton County are protected from development as National Forest, National Park, National Elk Refuge, and other public entities. Of the 3% of developable land, many large corridors have been preserved with easements by the non-profit Land Trust to guarantee their natural status throughout perpetuity.

Accessibility:  Jackson Hole is the gateway community to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Travel to and from Jackson is easy and efficient with service provided by five major airlines with daily direct flights to cities across the country.  The Jackson Hole airport is just 12 miles north of town, and also has a full service, private jet FBO.

Taxes:  The tax advantages of owning real estate in Jackson are unlike any other region of the United States. Residents of Wyoming enjoy no inheritance tax, no state income tax, no corporate tax, no capital gains tax, and no trust tax.  Excise, sales, and property taxes are among the lowest in the country. Additionally, Wyoming has adopted a progressive version of the Uniform Trust Code and has extended the Rule against Perpetuities to 1000 years for trusts administered in Wyoming. It is one of just a few states where a family trust company can be formed and administered without regulation by the State Banking Commission. Wyoming has recently legalized asset protection trusts for qualified assets and allows ownership of real and personal property in forms that provide significant asset protection as compared to other states. All of these advantages for you as a buyer should be discussed with your legal or tax advisors.
