Property Tax Petition

[bravo]

You say I have blinders on but you are the one not able to comprehend or communicate. I live in in one of the highest tax areas in the state. I voted no. I want to see a sustainable relief plan that doesn’t starve essential services or require new annual specials or levies. I think putting a large amount on primary residence as “hands off” by law accomplishes that.

What is a tax freeze increase? What zoning enforcement? I proposed changing the way assessment is done, read again.

You guys don’t have to fight about it anymore….I’m sure they’ll fix it all by next time. This 65% vote proved the people aren’t happy with the current system and sent a message if we don’t get tax relief they will be held to account

I'm not trying to fight, I'm trying to figure out where lunk is coming from.

A tax freeze increase sounds like one is trying to outlaw inflation.

That's some brilliance right there.

if inflation is 3-5 % why does ones property tax go up 10 - 20 %. Rarely does anyone get a 10 - 20% raise. why should owners have to tighten their belt to pay the taxes but governments get to pad their budgets which leads to wasteful spending. It is a known fact that if an agency does not spend their budget the will see a reduced but the next year. every year we have agency wanting to do work because they have left over money in their budgets and say they need to spend it or lose it.

https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/state/property-tax-relief-reform-options/#:~:text=Rate limits are intended to,or even freeze rates outright.
Rate limits are intended to restrict consciously adopted tax increases, limiting the authority of local government officials to adopt a tax increase. They may cap the amount of a rate increase in a given year, establish a maximum allowable rate, require voter authorization to raise taxes, or even freeze rates outright. Under rate caps, collections can rise unimpeded if property values grow or if new construction is added to the property tax rolls, but policymakers are constrained in their ability to increase millages on those properties.

Hahaha like measure 2 did?

Easy solution. Freeze the tax evaluation at what you paid for the property. If you want to buy a $600,000 house then you can pay taxes on that. Why should some elderly people pay a tax evaluation on a property they have bought and paid for that was purchased for $80,000 and now some pointy head says it’s worth $300,000 so they pay tax on that. It’s stupid. If there is a short fall in revenue, the govt can tighten there belts instead of coming up with pet projects no one wants. I know it’s wishful thinking but a normal business has to cut spending when the income is short. Why is govt different.

That's done all the time in new developments to get people to buy homes, even some local towns like for example:after the flood the city of grand forks had a deal on home buying were if you paid on the loan for so many years the loan was forgiven. I'm not sure what exactly but I know that grand forks loss a lot of residents after rhe flood and the town was full of for sale signs throughout the neighborhoods. Grand Forks needed to get those homes sold especially when many were bought out by the city or insurance companies.
So yeah there are lots of ways to help keep the price of property taxes from going up but did you guys actually believe that north dakota would do away with property taxes which would have been the only one. Cmon man

Yes it is another tax, but spreading it out amongst everyone who purchases in Bismarck mandan sounds better to me than sticking it on property tax
