Lottery & Gaming Credit
To qualify for the Lottery & Gaming Credit, an owner must be a Wisconsin resident, the owner of the dwelling, and use the dwelling as their primary residence as of January 1 of the year in which the property taxes are levied. If temporarily absent, typically for a period no longer than 6 months (hospital, vacation, incarcerated, etc), it is the home to which the owner returns. A property owner may claim only one primary residence. The lottery and gaming credit cannot be claimed on business property, rental units, vacant land, garages, or other property that is not the primary residence of the owner. For additional information about the Lottery and Gaming Credit, contact our office at 920-648-2344, the County Treasurer’s Office, or the Wisconsin Department of Revenue at (608) 266-9457 or e-mail lgs@revenue.wi.gov.
