Wisconsin taxes primary residences at full market value with no state cap, but you can reduce your tax bill through the Homestead Credit and Lottery and Gaming Credit (both income-based) — claim both on your state tax return after purchase. Green County reassesses at sale; verify with the Green County Assessor that your homestead classification is properly applied, which is required for state credit eligibility. File an appeal with the Green County Board of Review if comparable sales data shows your assessment is overstated (deadline typically early March).
