Tax Circus on North Dakota Valuation and State Taxes
The article argues that farm lands make up about 60 percent of the total assessed valuation of 1.2 billion dollars, requiring 60 percent of the state revenue from agriculture. It contends $2,317,812 is needed and $2,578,400 from 44,000,000 acres after deductions, while denouncing figures from Auditor Kositzky and others as erroneous. It notes legislative protections capping local tax increases at 20 percent, estimating next year’s total state, county, and local revenue near 26 million, challenging Fargo Forum and Grand Forks Herald claims of 40 million. It discusses rising costs, new state industries, and anticipated eventual reductions after projects begin.
