Tax EqualizationMenu
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 TaxesThe North Dakota Association of Counties offers a good explanation of property taxes on their Understanding Property Taxes page.
