NOTICE 5/6/2026
From WisBurn - https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wisburn/ #/BurnRestrictions
Due to fire weather conditions, burning is not allowed today. All DNR-issued burning permits are suspended. Burning in barrels, debris piles, and grass or wooded areas with your DNR annual burning permit is prohibited. Campfires, though strongly discouraged, are allowed if used solely for cooking or warming purposes, but please use extreme caution. Consider having small campfires in a designated fire ring or device in the evening hours to avoid burning under elevated fire conditions typically found during the day. Please note-- areas outside of DNR Protection and within the limits of incorporated villages or cities may create their own burning ordinances, as well as set their own burn restrictions.

Now is the time of year to verify you are getting the lottery credit for a reduction on your 2026 tax bill. Also, it is important that you are only receiving one credit and not multiple. Please review your previous bill to see if you are currently receiving a credit. Please see the information below from the WI Department of Revenue site on whether you qualify or not.

The following link will allow you to add or remove a lottery credit via the lottery credit portal. https://ww2.revenue.wi.gov/VaultPublic/lc/interview.html

If you have questions, please reach out to us at 608-355-3276.

What is the lottery and gaming credit?

The lottery and gaming credit is a credit that provides direct property tax relief to qualifying taxpayers on their property tax bills. Lottery proceeds are paid into a separate segregated state fund. The lottery credit is displayed on tax bills as a reduction of property taxes due.

​Who qualifies for the lottery and gaming credit?

To qualify for the lottery and gaming credit, you must be a Wisconsin resident, own a dwelling and use it as your primary residence as of the January 1 certification date of the year the property taxes are levied.

If an owner is temporarily absent, typically for a period no longer than six months (ex: hospital, vacation, incarcerated), the primary residence is the home where the owner returns. Principal dwelling means any dwelling the owner of the dwelling uses as his/her primary residence.

A property owner may claim only one primary residence. You cannot claim the lottery and gaming credit on business property, rental units, vacant land, garages or other property that is not the owner's primary residence (sec. 79.10(1)(dm), (9)(bm), Wis. Stats.).
