Wisconsin has no homestead property tax exemption, but your primary residence qualifies for the Homestead Credit—an income-based tax reduction filed on your state return—and the Lottery and Gaming Credit, both of which can reduce your annual tax bill by several hundred dollars. At purchase, contact the Columbia County Assessor's office to verify your property's assessment ratio and ensure it reflects the owner-occupied classification, which affects your tax calculation going forward. File your Homestead Credit claim with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue when you file your state income tax return to capture any eligible relief for the year of purchase and beyond.
