Big Win for Homeowners: North Dakota Passes $1,600 Property Tax Credit

North Dakota homeowners just got a major boost. Governor Kelly Armstrong has signed House Bill 1176, a landmark property tax relief bill that triples the state's primary residence tax credit—from $500 to $1,600 per year, starting in the 2025-2027 biennium.
 
Funded by the state’s $12 billion Legacy Fund, this new credit is part of a broader effort to ease the financial burden on property owners while encouraging local governments to keep spending in check.
 

What’s Included:

  • 💵 $1,600 annual tax credit for primary residences
  • 📊 A 3% annual cap on local property tax budget increases (with carryover for unused portions)
  • 🧾 Expanded renter's refund program and more support for disabled veterans
Governor Armstrong called it a “historic package” and praised the bipartisan effort that made it possible. The bill passed with overwhelming support—86-4 in the House and 46-0 in the Senate.
 
This is a sustainable, long-term benefit that will grow as the Legacy Fund grows, meaning even more relief could be coming in future sessions.
 

Why It Matters:

If you own a home in North Dakota, this bill puts real money back in your pocket—and keeps local property taxes in check. It’s a clear signal that the state is listening to homeowners and taking action.
