Bill > SB2166

This bill creates a new property tax information portal on the North Dakota Tax Commissioner's website designed to provide citizens with comprehensive and transparent information about property taxes. The portal will include interactive data about property tax collections for each parcel, updated at least annually, along with historical collection information and contact details for elected officials in each taxing district. The portal will also offer educational resources like property tax terminology and tools to help citizens estimate potential tax changes. County auditors will be required to submit timely and detailed property tax data to the commissioner at least annually, and the commissioner must protect personally identifiable information from unauthorized access. The bill appropriates $5,000,000 from the general fund to develop the portal during the 2025-2027 biennium, and the commissioner will be required to provide a report to the legislative management at least once per biennium detailing the portal's implementation progress, costs, and usage statistics. The goal appears to be increasing transparency and helping citizens better understand property tax information in North Dakota.
