How this compares nationally
The population-weighted average modeled rate across indexed North Dakota counties is 1.01%. That sits near the broad national band many surveys use for orientation (often roughly 1–1.3% of home value, varying by source and methodology)—use it as context, not a benchmark for “fair” taxation.
Orientation band (~1–1.3%): broad U.S. survey context. See Tax Foundation — Property taxes as a percentage of owner-occupied housing value (state / local, illustrative national context).

FAQ
Common questions
Statewide orientation for North Dakota—open a county page for parcel-level rules.
What do these North Dakota county pages show?
Each indexed North Dakota county page uses U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year county medians (B25103 / B25077) with an implied effective rate (median tax ÷ median value), plus state statutory and agency references.
Why is the statewide average different from one North Dakota county?
This hub averages population-weighted implied rates across 53 counties using POPESTIMATE2024 (or ACS B01003 where aligned in source data). Each county’s median tax ÷ median value reflects its own housing stock—not your parcel.
When are property taxes due in North Dakota?
North Dakota property taxes are often payable in two installments—many counties emphasize February and October collections—verify on your county treasurer statement.
How should I compare North Dakota counties to the rest of the U.S.?
North Dakota county pages use ACS 2023 medians—align comparisons to the same Census definitions; local assessments, classes (especially in Hawaii), and district millage drive actual bills. See our national context note and Rate Gazetteer’s methodology page.
