North Dakota
Letter: Are property taxes really a local problem?
All of us have heard it – property taxes are a neighborhood concern.
If property taxes are a neighborhood concern, why is it that North Dakota State Regulation dictates how and when property is assessed and equalized? Why does state regulation mandate when native budgets are deliberated and the format and content material of the funds listening to notices? Why is it that state regulation units mill levy limits (how a lot might be taxed) and dictates how the cash might be spent? Why does state regulation prescribe what’s on the county property tax assertion, when it’s to be despatched, and the deadlines for fee? How come state regulation establishes that sure property is exempt from property taxation?
Legislators are fast to level out that property taxes are the primary grievance of their constituents. Perhaps the constituents perceive property taxes will not be native.
