Wisconsin taxes primary residences at full market value with no state cap, but the Homestead Credit and Lottery and Gaming Credit (both income-based) provide tax relief — claim both credits on your state return in the year following closing. Fond du Lac County reassesses at sale; contact the Fond du Lac County Assessor to ensure your homestead classification is properly recorded, which qualifies you for the state income-tax credits. File an assessment appeal with the Fond du Lac County Board of Review if comparable sales evidence shows your assessed value is excessive (deadline typically early March).
