Primary residence is defined as the home where an individual lives more than six months of the year.
If temporarily absent, it is the home to which the owner returns. Only one primary residence may be claimed. Renters do not qualify. Beginning in 1999 qualified property owners are required to file an application with the County Treasurer or City of Milwaukee Treasurer to received the Lottery and Gaming Credit. The credit amount on your tax bill is based on your school tax rate and the maximum credit value.
