Use the following form to submit a mailing address change request for your tax statements.
The assessment codes will tell you what the assessor is classifying the property as. This is NOT the same as zoning. An example of the difference is that a property is ZONED residential, but is ASSESSED as both residential and commercial as the owners live in the house but also have a hair salon in the home.
Assessment Codes
Assessors are hired by each individual municipality. The treasurer's office does not have copies of assessment data, only a total assessment value.

The Lottery and Gaming Credit is a credit given to Wisconsin residents who own real estate in Wisconsin that is used as their primary residence. In Polk County the credit currently ranges from $164.85 to $340.01, depending on which school district you reside in. You are only eligible to receive the credit on the one property in the State of Wisconsin that is used as your primary residence. You must live at the property for more than six months of the year for it to be considered your primary residence. You are not eligible if you claim residency in any other state.
If the property was your primary residence as of January 1, 2022, print the 2022 Lottery Credit form and return it to the County Treasurer's Office. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Polk County Treasurer's office at 715-485-9255.
