Lottery Credit
The Lottery and Gaming Credit provides direct property tax relief to qualifying taxpayers in the form of a credit on their property tax bills. For taxpayers who pay their taxes in installments, the entire credit is applied on the first installment.
You may claim a lottery credit if, on January 1, you were an owner of the property and used the property as your primary residence. Your “primary residence” is where you live at least six months of the year. You can only have one primary residence! Rental or other properties DO NOT qualify for a lottery credit.
Once you have applied for a lottery credit, it remains on your tax bill until you move from your residence. You do not need to fill out a form each year. If you have purchased a new home, you will need to complete and sign a Lottery Credit Form.

If you no longer own the property or use it as your primary residence, you must contact the County Treasurer within 30 days to have the lottery credit removed, or complete a Lottery Credit Removal Form. If you received your current tax bill and you did not receive a lottery credit that you qualify for, you will need to complete a Late Lottery and Gaming Credit Form.
