North Dakota Property Tax Calculator – North Dakota property taxes fund schools, parks, and roads. The median annual payment is $2,377, with an effective rate of 0.99%, slightly above the national average. Taxes are based on taxable value (4.5% of market value for residential), multiplied by local mill rates, varying by county/district.
How Property Taxes Are Calculated
North Dakota property taxes are calculated as:
[ \text{Taxable Value} = \text{Market Value} \times 0.50 \times 0.09 ] [ \text{Taxes} = \text{Taxable Value} \times \left( \text{Mill Rate} \div 1,000 \right) ]
-
Market Value: Set annually by local assessors.
-
Taxable Value: 4.5% of market value (50% assessed, 9% taxable).
-
Mill Rate: Set by local authorities, in mills ($1 per $1,000).
-
Exemptions: Homestead, disabled veterans, primary residence.
Example:
$200,000 home in Cass County (220 mills):
-
Taxable Value = $200,000 × 0.50 × 0.09 = $9,000
-
Taxes = $9,000 × (220 ÷ 1,000) = $1,980
Taxes are due January 1, with a 5% discount if paid by February 15.
