The Director of Equalization Office is responsible for overseeing property tax assessments in unincorporated areas, as well as in cities and townships that contract with the county for assessment services. In addition to assisting the public, we provide guidance to the Morton County Commission on matters related to property valuation, taxation, and assessments. Our office also manages the assessment and collection of mobile home taxes.
Understanding Property Taxes
The North Dakota Association of Counties offers a good explanation of property taxes on their Understanding Property Taxes page.
Building Permits
Building permits for unincorporated areas are issued by the Morton County Building Inspector Department.
For incorporated cities—Flasher, Glen Ullin, Hebron, and New Salem—permits are handled by each city individually; please contact the city auditor for assistance.
The City of Almont has requested the county manage its permits, so building permits for Almont are also available through the Morton County Building Inspector Department.
