In the last 5 years in Bismarck, my out of pocket property taxes have gone up $842 but my actual taxes (before state offset) has gone up $1700. And our house is nothing fancy. There were 2 years with 10% increases.
I don’t assume that state offset is guaranteed forever. Something needs to be done to slow the increases.
Something needs to be done to eliminate increases.

I don't think too many economists agree that stagflation is good for the economy. The govt buys things on the open market just like the rest of us. Gas, equipment, asphalt, concrete, pens, paper, computers, etc, etc have all gone up.

It'd be nice to walk into McDonalds and tell them I refuse to pay more than the $0.49 I paid for a cheeseburger back in the 1980s, but I'd probably still be just as hungry when I left as when I walked in the door.

And you’re missing the point…… if we need to tax property then it needs to be a set amount based on a fixed sale price period. No more of the mill/valuation game they play. If we need more money collected then 1) the politicians need to stop spending 2) it needs to be collected in other areas, not someone’s home.

Got my county "Christmas letter" in the mail yesterday. So the $500 credit is on there but my total only dropped about $200 since my property is worth more......yah for me I guess.

Anyway my question is do we need to apply for this again every year or will it automatically be applied for 2025?

We also have 20% more population paying than we did in 1980. That alone should be a 20% raise, in addition to the piles of new business in Western ND paying about 55% of the load now too.

Its a spending problem, not a taxing one.

We gripe about taxes yet here we are living this lifestyle. It helps when you write out that property tax check to think about others who don't have it as good as we do.


No not really, so because other places are poor i should be fucked by paying insane amount of taxes and feel good about it?...wtf sir. It allows me to donate less to poverty stricken countries...oh wait a second....

Minot
So, the Minot public schools had a firm come in and evaluate each school to see what needs to be upgraded. They suggested $149 million in taxpayer money be spent for the upgrades.

This after spending $200 + million on the new high school.

The Minot school district is already millions of dollars over budget.

Could Gallion audit them to see where the money came from?
Doesn’t matter where the money comes from. It our VOTE. Want a different result. Put in a real measure that doesn’t just pass it someone else. All the last one did was make those who have mineral rights out west pick up the tab.

Ahhhhh it influences votes. So 100% it matters where the money came from. Is it ok to use tax payor money for it?

You would think with the surplus that ND has they could just invest it wisely and save everyone a bunch of money. I might be wrong but with the amount of surplus it’s crazy they can’t figure something out.
I’ve already suggested a 10x investment. We put it all into Dogecoin and after this next crypto bull run we’re about to have we pay off everyone’s property taxes indefinitely and then we build a 179 million white buffalo water park in Temvik ND

kind of odd on how everybody in the state doesn't have to pay property tax on their homes.
It depends on where it is. Mines on my wife's land that's in "trust". No taxes on land or house, and she doesn't pay income tax to ND either.
