ESTIMATED TAX NOTICES
Estimated tax notices will be mailed to all Burleigh County property owners whose estimated
property taxes will be $100 or more.

The estimated tax notices are a result of legislation intending to explain in dollars the effect of
each taxing entity’s preliminary budget and to increase taxpayer participation in the budget
process by providing the date, time, and location of each taxing district’s final budget hearing.

Please do not pay these estimated notices. This is not a billing, but rather an estimate of
what your taxes may be when the statements are delivered in December. The notices do not
include special assessments nor the 5% discount for early payment. The notices DO list any
Homestead or Disabled Veterans Credits as well as the Primary Residence Credit, if qualified.
For any questions regarding the Primary Residence Credit, please contact the ND State Office of
State Tax Commissioner at (701) 328-7988 or visit their website at https://www.tax.nd.gov/prc
