3by the claimant by the agriculture property factor. This subdivision does not apply

SB2-SSA1,101 7Section 101. 71.52 (7) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB2-SSA1,43,58 71.52 (7) “Property taxes accrued" means real or personal property taxes or
9monthly municipal permit fees under s. 66.0435 (3) (c), exclusive of special
10assessments, delinquent interest and charges for service, levied on a homestead
11owned by the claimant or a member of the claimant's household. “Real or personal
12property taxes" means those levied under ch. 70, less the tax credit, if any, afforded
13in respect of such property by s. 79.10. If a homestead is owned by 2 or more persons
14or entities as joint tenants or tenants in common or is owned as marital property or
15survivorship marital property and one or more such persons, entities or owners is not
16a member of the claimant's household, property taxes accrued is that part of property
17taxes accrued levied on such homestead, reduced by the tax credit under s. 79.10,
18that reflects the ownership percentage of the claimant and the claimant's household,
19except that if a homestead is owned by 2 or more natural persons or if 2 or more
20natural persons have an interest in a homestead, one or more of whom is not a
21member of the claimant's household, and the claimant has a present interest, as that
22term is used in s. 700.03 (1), in the homestead and is required by the terms of a will
23that transferred the homestead or interest in the homestead to the claimant to pay
24the entire amount of property taxes levied on the homestead, property taxes accrued
25is property taxes accrued levied on such homestead, reduced by the tax credit under

1s. 79.10. A marital property agreement or unilateral statement under ch. 766 has
2no effect in computing property taxes accrued for a person whose homestead is not
3the same as the homestead of that person's spouse. For purposes of this subsection,
4property taxes are “levied" when the tax roll is delivered to the local treasurer for
5collection. If a homestead is sold or purchased during the calendar year of the levy,
6the property taxes accrued for the seller and the buyer are the amount of the tax levy
7prorated to each in proportion to the periods of time each both owned and occupied
8the homestead during the year to which the claim relates. The seller may use the
9closing agreement pertaining to the sale of the homestead, the property tax bill for
10the year before the year to which the claim relates or the property tax bill for the year
11to which the claim relates as the basis for computing property taxes accrued, but
12those taxes are allowable only for the portion of the year during which the seller
13owned and occupied the sold homestead. If a household owns and occupies 2 or more
14homesteads in the same calendar year, property taxes accrued is the sum of the
15prorated property taxes accrued attributable to the household for each of such
16homesteads. If the household owns and occupies the homestead for part of the
17calendar year and rents a homestead for part of the calendar year, it may include both
18the proration of taxes on the homestead owned and rent constituting property taxes
19accrued with respect to the months the homestead is rented in computing the amount
20of the claim under s. 71.54 (1). If a homestead is an integral part of a multipurpose
21or multidwelling building, property taxes accrued are the percentage of the property
22taxes accrued on that part of the multipurpose or multidwelling building occupied
23by the household as a principal residence plus that same percentage of the property
24taxes accrued on the land surrounding it, not exceeding one acre, that is reasonably
25necessary for use of the multipurpose or multidwelling building as a principal

1residence, except as the limitations of s. 71.54 (2) (b) apply. If the homestead is part
2of a farm, property taxes accrued are the property taxes accrued on up to 120 acres
3of the land contiguous to the claimant's principal residence and include the property
4taxes accrued on all improvements to real property located on such land, except as
5the limitations of s. 71.54 (2) (b) apply.
