So in a nutshell they can only increase what you pay by 3% each year. That’s how I understood it. Doesn’t matter what they do with your valuation they can still only raise “what you pay” by 3%
Pretty sure the 3% doesn’t apply at all to increases in home valuations, so that’s how they’ll continue to raise your liability without “raising property taxes” more than 3%
Keep telling yourself that and then check this years new tax statement! Do some research and you may find that the 3% Cap is not for individual homes but for the local taxing entity. as per House Bill 1176 passed in 2025. Your neighbor's house could go up 1% and yours could go up 5%
to be in compliance with the new law as long as the total is capped at 3%. That's why I said earlier that you better go buddy up to the taxman. 
That's how the system works!
Very interesting. So in essence the legislature sold us out again. No surprise. And you wonder why measure 1 passed lol.Keep telling yourself that and then check this years new tax statement!

Haha, love this response.
It's not always about the "boggiety man". After the $1600 credit last year, my real estate taxes were about $237.00. Until someone can show me it won't cost my wife & I more than that, I will vote no. Someone just needs to come up with a solid plan and people will come around. In my opinion, just eliminating it and depending upon our legislature to handle it isn't a good solution.
You lucked out, after the credit we received it was still higher than what we paid just 4 years earlier.
This is proof that the legislature knows exactly what they’re doing. They’re making it look like they’re doing something when they really aren’t. Until we eliminate property taxes they will continue to bend us over. I mean my god look at the cash this state has hoarded away. 50% of our taxes go to schools which is supposed to be all funded by the common schools land trust. Which has billions of dollars in the fund. It’s totally asinine
So next year it's $313 and then the following year it's $429 and so on......where's your pissed off line at?
Not sure? But I'll be sure to let you know when it gets there.
People that wanted a plan don’t really understand the process from what I learned. The measure that we voted on was a constitutional change which said “thou shall not charge a tax on property”. Then if that passes, the legislature would determine the plan. The constitution will never contain the plan. It will always be a 2 step process.
It’s not as bad or complicated as one would think. First off they could do what they’re supposed to do and replace the half of all property taxes collected that goes to school with money from the common schools land trust. That’s what that trust was set up for at statehood. But the assclowns in Bismarck don’t understand that. So that would eliminate the need to replace half of the money property taxes has been used for. Then you go in and clean house with county budgets, which you know damn well is chock full of waste. I’d guess 20% could be trimmed like now. So that has you down to having to fund 30% of what has been being collected from property taxes. And I would bet you I could solve that 30% of ten fricken minutes. Force sales tax on all these data centers being built. They are exempt from sales tax. That’s going to be hundreds of millions of dollars annually. So there, I’ve just solved the issue without tapping any of the tens of billions the state has stashed away in all the slush funds they have
Dont know where you live, or what you residence looks like, but if my primary home real estate tax was $237 I would vote no also. But you are the extraordinary exception, not the norm in my opinion. Property taxes are just way out of line, we almost passed a constitution measure to feed kids in school where there were already handouts in place to prevent kids from starving, and it dang near passed. Rest assured it will come back again.
This is a classic example of what is wrong with property taxes. If your going to tax property tax is all by the square foot regardless where the home sits. That’s truly equal taxation. This taxation on valuation is an absolute joke. It’s just another possibility to play with the numbers to increase revenue for the county. If you had a set amount for square foot then you don’t have to have these kangaroo courts over valuation. And everybody in the state will be treated equal on their homes.
