ND Agriculture Wants to be Part of the Property Tax Solution

As property tax reform moves through the North Dakota Legislature, the Senate Finance and Taxation Committee discussed the differences between meaningful and equitable tax reform. North Dakota Stockmen’s Association Executive Director Julie Ellingson testified, encouraging the committee to include agriculture in their decisions. “As you know, agriculture is a significant economic driver in our state and a significant property taxpayer, accounting for more than half of the property tax paid in 57 percent of North Dakotas counties.” Three different property tax reform bills are being heard during this session.
