Bismarck Road Projects & Special Assessments | What Homeowners Should Know

Bismarck continues to invest in road and transportation improvements, supporting long-term property values, better neighborhood connectivity, and smoother daily commutes. Ongoing and upcoming projects focus on arterial, collector, and local streets across the city.

 

Voters will decide on a half-cent sales tax extension in 2026, which has funded major roadway improvements since 2018 and would allow projects to continue beyond 2029.

 

A proposed street utility fee may appear on the 2026 ballot, designed to help fund street maintenance and potentially reduce reliance on traditional special assessments.

 

 

Improved infrastructure boosts accessibility, supports neighborhood growth, and can positively impact home values. If approved, the sales tax extension and street utility fee could also mean fewer or more predictable special assessments, helping homeowners better plan for future costs and making properties more attractive to buyers.
