Expansion of the Homestead Tax Credit for 2023
Expansion of the Homestead Tax Credit for 2023 On April 27, 2023, Governor Doug Burgum signed HB 1158 into law. This legislation broadens the eligibility requirements and maximum reduction amounts for those applying for the North Dakota Homestead Property Tax Credit program. This program is aimed at homeowners 65 years of age and older or those who are permanently and totally disabled. Income changes to the Homestead Credit for Tax Year 2023: If your income is: Taxable value is reduced by: Maximum reduction of taxable value: Maximum reduction of true & full value: $0 - $40,000 100% $9,000 $200,000 $40,001 - $70,000 50% $4,500 $100,000 This does not reduce the liability of any person for special assessments levied upon any property. With this new legislation, the asset limit of $500,000 has been removed. Applications must be submitted yearly for approval. If you have already applied for the credit this year, the application will be adjusted to reflect the new percentages. If, because of the changes, you would now qualify for the program and would like to apply, please contact the Pembina County Tax Director at (701) 265-4697.
Residential, Commercial & Agricultural Reappraisals
The Pembina County Commission has approved Vanguard Appraisals, Inc. for a county wide reappraisal. The project will begin in 2023 and should be completed by 2028 assessing and available online for public review. The purpose of the reappraisal project is to equalize property assessments so that each taxpayer is responsible for only paying their fair share of the property tax burden. Periodic inspections and reappraisal of properties is necessary as properties do not increase and decrease in value at the same rate. Door to door inspections by Certified Assessors and/or Data Collectors from Vanguard or the County Equalization office of all residential and commercial properties will begin in 2023. There may be some assessors that reach out to individuals earlier to update property record cards/listing sheets. It would be in the property owners best interest to assist in updating their property record cards otherwise an estimate will be completed that may not contain correct information and will be assessed as such. The agricultural soils reappraisal should be complete by 2023. Soils cards will be sent to each taxpayer for review. If a taxpayer feels there is a discrepancy they may make an appointment with the Equalization Office for review. Further documentation may be required. More information will be shared when available.
Agricultural Land Reappraisals
Agricultural Land Reappraisals were completed by the Soils Commitee and the Equalization Office (NOT by Vanguard). Deeded acres are used for property taxes, but may have an adjustment for a Land Use within the soil card if applicable. All soil cards were mailed out to each land owner/taxpayer for review to ensure the correct "Land Use" was applied if applicable, along with the legal description. Individuals are given the opportunity to contact the Equalization Office for further review if they feel there is a discrepancy in Land Use. The reappraisal is based off the most current 2023 NRCS Pembina County Web Soil Survey and Productivity Index determined for each soil type. Soil Modifiers are already included within the PI that NRCS determined for each specific soil type. You may find a listing of those soil types with PI on our Department page. There is also a link to the NRCS Web Soil Survey to review specific Areas of Interest (AOI). You can review your cards and the PI to see what modifiers are included in the soil type PI within your specific parcel. Valuations for cropland, non-cropland and average are determined by the Department of Agribusiness at NDSU using information from FSA, RMA, local markets and other information. These valuations are then certified to the State Tax Department and are sent to the Equalization office. The price per acre is then determined based on the PI and number of acres of that soil type within the county. In the summer of 2023, NRCS will be reviewing an area of rocks that were in question. Another area that will be reviewed at a later time will be flooding. There is no set date for that review at this time. If you have any questions, please contact the Equalization office at 701-265-4697. Otherwise, you may refer to the Tax Equalization Department page, NRCS Web Soil survey website and the Pembina County public GIS parcel viewer listed on the home page for further information on your specific parcel and soil types.
