ND Homeowners Are Eligible For a $500 Property Tax Credit

This blog post was updated on December 11, 2024.

A valuable property tax credit is once again available to North Dakota homeowners in 2025 – and applying only takes a few minutes.

According to the Office of the North Dakota Tax Commissioner, anyone who owns and occupies a dwelling in North Dakota and uses it as their primary residence is eligible to apply for up to a $500 tax credit. If approved, the credit will be applied against the homeowner’s 2025 property tax obligation.

Applications are being accepted now through March 31st, 2025 at tax.nd.gov/prc.

If you applied for the Primary Residence Credit in 2024, the process is even easier this year. During the application process you’ll have the option to renew your application for 2025. Doing so reduces the number of steps you’ll need to take to complete the form.

Here are more details you should know about the Primary Residence Credit:

• Applications must be completed and submitted online.
• To be eligible, you must own a home (a house, mobile home, townhome, duplex, or condominium) in North Dakota and reside in it as your primary residence.
• If this is your first time applying, you’ll need your Social Security number and your parcel identification number handy to apply. To find your parcel number, you can:
  • Refer to your property tax statement
  • Visit your county’s website
  • Call your county
  • Or look it up online using the County Property Tax Portal.
• There are no age restrictions or income limitations for this credit.
• Only one Primary Residence Credit is available per household.
• If you have been approved for another type of property tax credit (the Homestead or Disabled Veteran’s Property Tax Credit) and still have a balance due, you are still eligible to receive up to a $500 Primary Residence Credit for any remaining property taxes you owe.

Additional Q&A information on this tax credit can be found on the State Tax Commissioner’s website. First International Bank & Trust encourages you to explore this opportunity to save money on your property tax obligations in the new year.
