Wisconsin taxes primary residences on their full market value with no state cap, but your Homestead Credit (income-based) and Lottery and Gaming Credit can reduce your actual bill — file both credits with your tax return in the year after purchase. Sheboygan County assessments reset at market value with each sale; contact the Sheboygan County Assessor to confirm your homestead classification is applied, which is essential for accessing state credit eligibility. Review your property tax bill for accuracy before December 31 and file an appeal with the Sheboygan County Board of Review if the assessed value exceeds recent comparable sales.
