Wisconsin taxes primary residences at full market value with no state cap, but your Homestead Credit (income-based) and Lottery and Gaming Credit reduce your actual liability — claim both credits on your state tax return the year following purchase. Washington County reassesses at sale; contact the Washington County Assessor to ensure your homestead classification is correctly recorded, as this status qualifies you for state income-tax credits. File any assessment disputes with the Washington County Board of Review by the deadline published on your assessment notice (typically March).
