8means those levied under ch. 70, less the tax credit, if any, afforded in respect of such
9property by s. 79.10. If a homestead is owned by 2 or more persons or entities as joint

11marital property and one or more such persons, entities or owners is not a member
12of the claimant's household, property taxes accrued is that part of property taxes

25property taxes are "levied" when the tax roll is delivered to the local treasurer for

1collection. If a homestead is sold or purchased during the calendar year of the levy,
2the property taxes accrued for the seller and the buyer are the amount of the tax levy
3prorated to each in proportion to the periods of time each both owned and occupied
4the homestead during the year to which the claim relates. The seller may use the
5closing agreement pertaining to the sale of the homestead, the property tax bill for
6the year before the year to which the claim relates or the property tax bill for the year
7to which the claim relates as the basis for computing property taxes accrued, but
8those taxes are allowable only for the portion of the year during which the seller
9owned and occupied the sold homestead. If a household owns and occupies 2 or more
10homesteads in the same calendar year, property taxes accrued is the sum of the
11prorated property taxes accrued attributable to the household for each of such
12homesteads. If the household owns and occupies the homestead for part of the
13calendar year and rents a homestead for part of the calendar year, it may include both
14the proration of taxes on the homestead owned and rent constituting property taxes
15accrued with respect to the months the homestead is rented in computing the amount
16of the claim under s. 71.54 (1). If a homestead is an integral part of a multipurpose
17or multidwelling building, property taxes accrued are the percentage of the property
18taxes accrued on that part of the multipurpose or multidwelling building occupied
19by the household as a principal residence plus that same percentage of the property
20taxes accrued on the land surrounding it, not exceeding one acre, that is reasonably
21necessary for use of the multipurpose or multidwelling building as a principal
22residence, except as the limitations of s. 71.54 (2) (b) apply. If the homestead is part
23of a farm, property taxes accrued are the property taxes accrued on up to 120 acres
24of the land contiguous to the claimant's principal residence and include the property

1taxes accrued on all improvements to real property located on such land, except as
