Breaking News: Burleigh County Passes Property Tax Reform

59% of Burleigh County voters approve of shifting county law enforcement costs to local sales tax - of which upwards of 40% is paid by non-Burleigh visitors.

Quick update on one issue the North Dakota Watchdog Network has tackled directly: Burleigh County voters approve a 1% sales tax to offset costs currently covered by property taxes for the Burleigh County Jail, Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department, and Burleigh County States Attorney Office.

For more on this plan to reduce and reform property taxes at the local level, read the previous work on the issue.
