North Dakota Property Tax Guide

Property tax in North Dakota is a local affair. The state itself doesn't levy a general property tax; instead counties, cities, school districts, and townships assess and bill it to fund schools, roads, and local services. The average effective rate works out to about 0.94% of a home's value, a little above the national average of about 0.9%, though the actual figure swings from one taxing district to the next depending on local budgets and mill levies.

Bills are built from assessed value, not the sticker price you paid. A county assessor estimates your property's true and full value, a fraction of that becomes the taxable value, and local mill levies are applied to produce the bill. North Dakota offers a Homestead Property Tax Credit aimed at qualifying low-income seniors and people with disabilities, which can reduce the taxable value for those who qualify. To ballpark a bill, multiply the home's value by roughly 0.94% -- a $300,000 house lands near $2,820 a year -- but treat that as an estimate and check the actual mill levies in your district for a precise number.

North Dakota Property Tax FAQ

Who sets and collects property tax in North Dakota?
Local governments do. County assessors value the property, and counties, cities, school districts, and townships set mill levies to fund their budgets, then the county bills and collects the tax. The state does not impose a statewide property tax, which is why rates differ across districts even within the same county.
How do I estimate my North Dakota property tax bill?
Start from the property's value and apply the roughly 0.94% average effective rate as a first approximation: a $250,000 home comes out near $2,350 per year. For an exact figure, you need your district's specific mill levies applied to your assessed and taxable value, since local rates vary. The county assessor or treasurer can provide those numbers.
What is the Homestead Property Tax Credit?
It's a North Dakota program that reduces property tax for qualifying low-income seniors (generally 65 and older) and people with permanent disabilities by lowering the taxable value of their home. Eligibility and benefit amounts depend on income and other criteria set by the state. Applications are typically handled through the county where the property sits.
Why is my effective rate different from a neighbor in another county?
Because mill levies are set locally to cover local budgets, two homes of equal value in different districts can carry different bills. School district funding needs, city services, and township levies all feed into the rate stacked on your parcel. The 0.94% figure is a statewide average, not a fixed rate everyone pays.
