Bottineau's property tax runs near parity with this project's statewide anchor
Ownwell cites Bottineau's own city-specific effective property tax rate at 0.99% -- essentially even with this project's own 0.99% North Dakota statewide anchor, though Ownwell's own cited 'state median' of 1.20% conflicts with that anchor, a real, disclosed, unresolved discrepancy (base record).
