The lottery and gaming credit is direct property tax relief to qualifying taxpayers in the form of a credit on their property tax bill

WHO QUALIFIES:
You may claim a lottery and gaming credit if, on January 1, you are a Wisconsin resident and you are a recorded owner of the property and the property is your primary residence. You can have only one primary residence. Rental or other properties DO NOT qualify for lottery credit.

APPYLING FOR THE CREDIT:
Please contact:

Burnett County Treasurer’s Office
7410 Count Rd K #101, Room 120
Siren WI 54872
715-349-2187

CHANGE IN QUALIFYING STATUS:
If your residency changes during the year, contact the Burnett County Treasurer’s Office so we can update our records for future tax bills.

When you receive your tax bill and a lottery and gaming credit is NOT shown and you are eligible, contact your local treasurer and fill out a lottery and gaming credit application form. The amount of tax due will be adjusted. If you find that you DO have a lottery and gaming credit and SHOULD NOT, contact you local treasurer and have it removed. The amount of tax due will be adjusted. These adjustments by the local treasurer need to be done before January 31.

STATE OF WISCONSIN AUDIT:
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue audits lottery and gaming credit claims.
