Eligible North Dakota homeowners get up to $500 off property tax each year for 2024 and 2025 only. The credit applies after other exemptions and credits, cannot exceed remaining property tax, and does not cover special assessments. Owners must generally live in the home; renters without an ownership interest and tax-exempt farm structures do not qualify. Eligible ownership includes life estates, contracts for deed, and qualifying trust interests. Each person or trust can claim only one main home. A qualifying trust must grant its trustor or beneficiary rent-free occupancy for life or a permitted shorter period. The document describing that property interest must be recorded in county property records. Owners confined to a nursing home, hospital, or care facility remain eligible while the part previously occupied is not rented. The regular deadline is April 1 each year to file a signed, verified eligibility statement with the tax commissioner. For qualifying trust-owned homes, the law allowed special 2024 refund claims through May 1, 2025, despite regular application rules. Those refunds equal the allowed credit, up to $500, with related state payments permitted after normal processing deadlines. The law took effect immediately under an emergency clause, applies retroactively, and becomes ineffective after the two-year window.
