Lottery Credit

The lottery credit is a State property tax credit for people who own their primary residence. For example, property owners are eligible for a lottery credit in 2023 if they owned their primary residence and lived there on January 1, 2023. The credit for tax year 2023 ranges from $229 to $372 depending on the school district you live in. More details are on the State Department of Revenue FAQ page.
