Property-tax appeals in North Dakota
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in North Dakota.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Value appeals run through the boards of equalization (city/township in April, County Board of Equalization within the first 10 days of June, State Board of Equalization the second Tuesday of August). The formal backstop is an abatement application filed in duplicate with the county auditor on or before November 1 of the year following the year the tax becomes delinquent (N.D.C.C. 57-23-04). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | Local and county Boards of Equalization, then the State Board of Equalization (you must have appeared before BOTH the city and county boards to be heard by the State Board); abatements are heard by the Board of County Commissioners, with appeal to district court. |
The abatement route covers listed error/excessiveness grounds in 57-23-04; the application must be in writing in duplicate and filing it consents to an inspection of the property (per the state application form and county guidance). Timely equalization-board appearances matter: skipping the city board forfeits the State Board step even though the county board may still be used.
