Wisconsin properties are reassessed annually with no state-imposed cap on increases, though the Homestead Credit provides an income-based reduction for primary residences that can offset several hundred dollars in taxes annually. After closing, register with the Shawano County Assessor to ensure your homestead credit is applied and your property is correctly classified as owner-occupied. Review your property tax bill each year and contact the Shawano County Assessor if the assessment increased dramatically or if you believe your home's value was overestimated.
