(By: Michael Achterling. North Dakota Monitor) – A property tax bill backed by Gov. Kelly Armstrong received a unanimous do pass recommendation Monday immediately following a Senate committee hearing.

House Bill 1176, sponsored by Rep. Mike Nathe, R-Bismarck, would give North Dakota homeowners up to a $1,450 primary residence tax credit and cap the amount of property taxes that could be levied locally at a 3% annual increase.

The bill would also raise income thresholds for seniors to the Homestead Tax Credit program by $10,000 and expand the state’s renters credit for those that qualify from $400 to $600.

Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus estimates the bill would provide an estimated $503.3 million in tax relief to citizens for 2025-27.
