If you are paying in installments, use the first coupon; it is payable to the Village of Weston due by January 31st. The middle coupon is for the second installment and is payable to Marathon County Treasurer 500 Forest Street, due by July 31st.

If no first installment or less than the first installment was made to the Village by January 31st , the balance due is subject to interest and penalty starting February 1st and needs to be made payable to Marathon County Treasurer by July 31st. Please reach out to to Marathon County for final amount due.

Mark your calendar if you are paying by installment! The Village of Weston does not send out reminders.

First Dollar Credit

The First Dollar Credit provides direct property tax relief as a credit for Wisconsin property owners on their property tax bill. Every taxable parcel (business, commercial or private) containing a real property improvement (ex: building), qualifies for the First Dollar Credit. Unlike the Lottery and Gaming Credit, the property does not have to be the owner's primary residence. 

This credit is automatically applied to all qualifying properties, no need to apply. The credit amount varies from year to year and is calculated by multiplying the maximum credit value (available funds and an estimated number of properties that will qualify for the credit), by the applicable school tax rate.

Wisconsin Lottery and Gaming Tax Credit

The Lottery and Gaming Credit is a credit that provides direct property tax relief to qualifying taxpayers on their property tax bill. The credit is displayed on qualifying tax bills as a reduction of property tax due. The credit amount varies from year to year and is based on revenues generated from the Wisconsin Lottery, pari-mutuel on track betting, and bingo during the year. 

You may claim the lottery and gaming credit if on January 1st of the tax year you were the owner of the property in question and it was your primary residence. (Note:  “primary residence” is where you live most of the time. You can only have one primary residence and only claim one credit. You can not receive this credit for a rental property)

If you purchased a property who previously received the lottery credit, your property will be pre-certified and automatically receive the credit on your next tax bill.

If you purchased a property with a new built home, "first owner of the home", you must submit an application to receive the credit.

If you no longer qualify for the credit, the law requires that you notify and submit a removal application to your treasurer within 30 days.
