6. “Property taxes accrued" means property taxes, exclusive of special assessments, delinquent interest and charges for service, levied on the farmland owned by the claimant or any member of the claimant's household in any calendar year under
ch. 70, less the tax credit, if any, afforded in respect of the property by
s. 79.10. “Property taxes accrued" shall not exceed $10,000. If farmland is owned by a tax-option corporation, limited liability company or by 2 or more persons or entities as joint tenants, tenants in common or partners or is marital property or survivorship marital property and one or more such persons, entities or owners is not a member of the claimant's household, “property taxes accrued" is that part of property taxes levied on the farmland, reduced by the tax credit under
s. 79.10, that reflects the ownership percentage of the claimant and the claimant's household. For purposes of this subdivision, property taxes are “levied" when the tax roll is delivered to the local treasurer for collection. If farmland is sold during the calendar year of the levy the “property taxes accrued" for the seller is the amount of the tax levy, reduced by the tax credit under
s. 79.10, prorated to each in the closing agreement pertaining to the sale of the farmland, except that if the seller does not reimburse the buyer for any part of those property taxes there are no “property taxes accrued" for the seller, and the “property taxes accrued" for the buyer is the property taxes levied on the farmland, reduced by the tax credit under
s. 79.10, minus, if the seller reimburses the buyer for part of the property taxes, the amount prorated to the seller in the closing agreement. With the claim for credit under this subsection, the seller shall submit a copy of the closing agreement and the buyer shall submit a copy of the closing agreement and a copy of the property tax bill.
