What is the Wisconsin Homestead Credit and how do I apply for it?

The Wisconsin Homestead Credit is a program designed to provide property tax relief to eligible individuals and families residing in Wisconsin. It helps lower-income homeowners by reducing their property tax burden. To apply for the Homestead Credit, you must meet certain requirements, including being a Wisconsin resident, owning and living in your home, and having a total household income below a specified threshold based on the number of individuals in your household. To apply, you need to complete and submit Form WI‑ZH with supporting documentation to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. The form can be filed electronically or by mail. It is important to apply every year as the credit does not renew automatically. For more detailed information and step-by-step instructions, please visit our website or contact us directly.
