(Bob Hague, WRN) Homeowners will receive an estimated $213 average property tax credit from the Wisconsin Lottery this year.

While slightly lower than last year's average credit of $230, that’s higher than the 2020 credit of $160 or the 2019 credit of $184. Department of Revenue Secretary Peter Barca said strong lottery sales pushed the average credit above $200 once again.

Overall, the Lottery Credit has over $319.8 million available for distribution to Wisconsin homeowners for property taxes levied in 2022.  The Lottery Credit is shown on tax bills as a reduction of property taxes due.

If a taxpayer pays their taxes in two or more installments, the credit is applied to the first installment.
