Lottery and Gaming Credit

You are eligible for a State Lottery and Gaming Credit for 2017 real estate property taxes payable in 2018, if, on January 1^st, 2017, you were the owner of the real property listed on this tax bill, a Wisconsin resident, and used that property as your primary residence.  In addition, if you purchased the property listed on this tax bill after January 1^st, 2017, you may claim the credit, provided that you are able to attest that to the best of your knowledge the previous owner used the property as their primary residence as of January 1^st, 2017.  If you believe you qualify for a State Lottery and Gaming Credit on your 2017 real estate property tax bill and the credit does not appear on your tax bill, you may make a claim for the credit by January 31^st, 2018, using an application available from the City Treasurer's Office.  If it is after January 31^st, 2018, you may submit a late claim application to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) by October 1^st, 2018, using an application available on the DOR website at: www.revenue.wi.gov.  Do not claim the credit if you do not qualify.  The Wisconsin Department of Revenue will audit all claims for the Lottery and Gaming Credit.  Note that Wisconsin State Statutes require that you notify the City Treasurer within 30 days after you no longer qualify for the credit because you no longer own the property, or no longer use it as your primary residence.  For additional information on the State Lottery and Gaming Credit, contact the Office of the City Treasurer, or write the Wisconsin Department of Revenue at P.O. Box 8971, Madison, Wisconsin 53708-8971.
