The Burleigh County Tax Equalization Office is responsible for identifying and overseeing the valuation of all real property within the county. Once values are certified by the State Board of Equalization, they are sent to the Auditor's Office to calculate property taxes. The Office of the State Tax Commissioner oversees the valuation of real property through a sales ratio analysis, which determines if a jurisdiction is maintaining their property valuations at market. Our office uses Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) software to assist in the valuation process. Property records are continually updated through reappraisal, permits, sale review, or whenever change occurs.
