Wisconsin Lottery and Gaming Credit

Lottery and Gaming credit provides direct property tax relief to qualifying taxpayers in the form of a credit on their property tax bills.  Your property qualifies if it is your primary residence on January 1 of the year in which the property taxes are levied.  Only one primary residence may be claimed; rental or the other properties DO NOT qualify for the credit.

If you meet the above requirements listed below, you may claim the Lottery and Gaming credit.  If you do not have a credit on your property tax bill, you may obtain an application from your Town, Village or City treasurer during tax collection time.  The credit may be claimed until January 31st following the issuance of the tax bill, the amount due will then be adjusted.

The Lottery and Gaming credit is determined in November of each year and depends on the amount of revenues from the lottery, parimutuel on-track betting and bingo during the year.  The credit amount on your tax bill is based on your school tax rate and the maximum credit value. [ss.79.10 (9) (bm), (11) Wis. Stats.]

Property owners must notify the County Treasurer within 30 days if the property no longer is the primary residence of the owner.
