How dare you question the government and their employees, they know what is best for you so sit down, shut up, and pay their fees. They are the experts at what they do but don't take my word for it ask them and they will tell you themselves that they are smarter than anyone else.
Flood insurance. i tried to get fema to cover what flood ins didn’t but they wouldn’t,

how would you feel if the property tax was eliminated on primary residence only ? property tax on all ag land ( it is a business ) taxes on commercial property ( again it is a business ) and property taxes on all 2nd properties such as lake / hunting cabins, second homes.

What is the yearly tax on 640 acres farmland in ND ? Do you really think that little amount is going to stop someone from purchasing a section for 1.6 million. ( avg of $ 2,500.00 / acre ) If they have the 1.6 million saving a few thousand dollars a year in taxes is not going to change...
