Learn moreAn Elevated Rate AND an Elevated Dollar Bill -- Disclosed Directly
Ownwell cited Grand Forks' median effective property tax rate at approximately 1.49% -- meaningfully above the ~1.02% national comparison figure -- with a cited median annual dollar tax bill of approximately $3,088, itself approximately $688 above the cited national median bill of $2,400. Unlike this project's Aberdeen, SD record (which could not confirm a precise dollar-bill figure), this record found a real, disclosed, reasonably precise Grand-Forks-specific dollar figure directly.
A Real, Disclosed Modest City-vs-County Gap
Ownwell's cited Grand Forks COUNTY-wide median bill (~$2,953) runs slightly below the CITY-specific bill (~$3,088) despite an identical cited 1.49% rate for both -- likely reflecting a somewhat higher median assessed value within city limits than the county as a whole, though this record did not independently investigate that gap further this pass.
Consistent Across Grand Forks Zip Codes
The same source described the 1.49% rate as consistent across Grand Forks' 58201 and 58203 zip codes -- a real, disclosed, city-wide-consistent figure rather than one that varies sharply by specific neighborhood, per this record's own sourcing this pass.
Confirm a Specific Address Directly With Grand Forks County
Given the real, disclosed elevated rate and dollar bill, buyers and movers should confirm a specific target property's current assessed value and levy directly with the Grand Forks County Tax Equalization/Treasurer's office rather than relying on the citywide figures alone.
