Tax Equalization

This office oversees the local assessment process to provide the true and full value of properties in Dickey County.  It is the duty & responsibility of the Tax Equalization Office to assess all taxable property uniformly, in a manner that is fair and equitable.
Property taxes are determined by the budgets set, in any given year, by city & county elected officials.

We abide by the North Dakota Century Code & follow the guidance provided by the North Dakota Tax Commissioner’s Office.

Additionally, this office is tasked with maintaining taxpayer information and parcel changes, compiling & updating records regarding real estate transactions, new construction, remodels or alterations.  We provide property records, sales reports, and any other information requested which falls within North Dakota’s open records laws.  Tax statement information can be found through the County Treasurer’s office & special assessment details are provided by your City Hall.

It is also the privilege of this department to assist our citizens in applying for a variety of property tax exemption and credit programs.  If you lack access to a computer or internet connection – these are ready & available to you inside our office.

On this webpage, we will keep links to the most current forms, applications, information and guidelines.  On the sidebar, you’ll notice a Property Card search feature – this can be used to independently search for all kinds of parcel and property information in Dickey County!  For details regarding agricultural land parcels (maps, soil type breakdowns, or average price per acre), you’ll still want to contact us directly.

It is our goal to provide transparency & help our community any way we can. Please do not hesitate to reach out!
