First Dollar Credit
To qualify for the First Dollar Credit the parcel must be a taxable parcel and contain a real property improvement. This includes business, commercial and private property. Unlike the Lottery and Gaming Credit, the property does not have to be the primary residence of the owner. Property containing only personal property improvements (no real property improvement) will not quality for this credit. The First Dollar Credit is applied (divided) equally over each installment. This credit should automatically be applied to qualifying parcels; however, if you did not receive this credit and you feel you qualify, please contact the City of Lake Mills Treasurer’s office.
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.
