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