You are entitled to a lottery credit on your property taxes if, as of January 1st of the year of the tax bill, you were the owner of the property and it was used as your primary residence. Even if the lottery credit has been on your bill in the past, please check annually to make sure it is listed.  Only you know if you are entitled to the credit.

The Lottery & Gambling Credit can be administered through the State of Wisconsin, the County Treasurer and/or the Village Treasurer depending on what time of the year you claim it.

Before tax bills are printed, you can direct a claim form to the County Treasurer.  This will ensure the credit is reflected on your bill.

After tax bills are printed and before the first installment is due, you can submit a claim form to the local municipal treasurer.  The credit can then be given during tax collection.

Late claims must be submitted directly to the State of Wisconsin, Department of Revenue.

Note: Rental properties are not eligible for credits.
