Tax 14.04(2)(2) Definition. Under s. 71.52 (7), Stats., “property taxes accrued” means real or personal property taxes or monthly parking permit fees under s. 66.0435 (3) (c), Stats., exclusive of special assessments, delinquent interest and charges for service, levied under ch. 70, Stats., on a homestead owned by a claimant or a member of the claimant’s household, less the tax credit, if any, afforded in respect of the property by s. 79.10, Stats. With respect to sub. (3) (e), “property taxes accrued” means the property taxes accrued levied on the former homestead owned by the claimant. Tax 14.04(3)(a)(a) Property taxes shall be levied on a homestead or former homestead to qualify as “property taxes accrued.”Property taxes are levied when the tax roll is delivered to the local treasurer for collection, usually on or near December 15 of each year. Tax 14.04(3)(b)(b) The property taxes accrued on a homestead or former homestead for the year to which a claim relates need not be paid prior to filing a homestead credit claim. The fact that the property taxes accrued on the homestead or former homestead are delinquent for years prior to the year to which a claim relates does not disqualify the claimant. Tax 14.04(3)(c)(c) “Property taxes accrued” includes personal property taxes assessed on a homestead or former homestead that is constructed on leased land or assessed on a mobile home owned by the claimant or a member of the claimant’s household. “Property taxes accrued” also includes mobile home parking permit fees assessed under s. 66.0435 (3) (c), Stats., for a mobile home owned by the claimant or a member of the claimant’s household. Tax 14.04(3)(d)(d) Under s. 71.52 (3), Stats., a buyer of a homestead or former homestead in possession under a land contract shall be entitled to claim the property taxes accrued on the homestead or former homestead.
