Methodology
Rates are aggregate-derived from the Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year American Community Survey (total real-estate taxes paid ÷ total home value, by county). This is a statistical estimate, not a bill lookup — actual property tax bills vary by city, school district, and special-district levies layered on top of the county rate, and by any homestead, senior, veteran, or other exemptions you qualify for. North Dakota ranks #22 of 51 (including DC) by statewide average effective rate, where #1 is the highest.

Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated in North Dakota?
The county's assessment office determines your property's value, and the levies of each local government serving the parcel are applied to it in one consolidated bill. The calculator above substitutes a county-median effective rate for the full levy detail.
How much property tax will I pay in North Dakota?
County and home value are the inputs that matter. Choose a North Dakota county above with a value entered, and estimates come back — yearly and monthly — from official county-level medians.
Can I lower my North Dakota property tax bill?
Credits for qualifying seniors, disabled homeowners, and veterans reduce what is owed, and the local equalization process hears appeals from owners whose values look inflated. Each follows its own annual timetable.
