How Property Tax Works
Logan County, North Dakota operates on a property tax system that serves as the primary funding mechanism for essential local services including county government operations, road maintenance, public safety, and educational facilities. Property taxes in Logan County are administered through the County Assessor's office for valuations and the County Treasurer's office for collections and distributions.
The effective property tax rate in Logan County for the 2025 levy year is 12.6 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, which was approved in August 2024 following public hearings. However, actual tax rates vary significantly by location within the county due to special taxing districts such as school districts, fire protection districts, and other local improvement districts. Property owners should expect their total effective rate to differ based on which special districts serve their specific property location.
North Dakota assesses property at 100% of true and full market value, with no statewide assessment cap limiting annual increases. Property owners may be eligible for various tax credits that require annual application by February 1st to reduce their tax liability.
