Again?

[Shockwave]

Here we go again. The city of Bismarck is once again raising property values so they can tax more.

Any property owner with a 2024 real estate valuation increase of 10 percent or more and $3,000 or more from the prior year’s assessed value will be receiving the notices. The city stresses the notices are not tax estimates but statements of the current market value of the property as determined by the city.

Property valuations are annually adjusted based on prior year sales of comparable properties in Bismarck. Other reasons for an adjustment may include properties with a new structure, remodel, structure addition, situations involving the expiration of an exemption, or any combination of the above.

Property taxes are such a scam.

Dang right they're a scam! Time to get rid of property tax

"You need to pay me a percentage of the value of your house, but I get to tell you how much your house is valued at", followed by "I need 10% more tax revenue, so everyone's house is now worth 10% more"

Absolutely a BS way of taxing people and it needs to stop! Sign the petition if you haven't already!

It's our own fault. We had a chance to rid ourselves of this scheme and voted to say, "no thanks may I have another".

And yet the opportunity presents itself again to tell our money hungry government to shove it. We shall see what happens. Too many people can't think for themselves. They want government to control them.

If someone would pay me 80% of what they say my house is worth, I'd sell!
