A three-bracket structure (0%/1.95%/2.50% top marginal) applies in Lisbon as statewide -- described by multiple 2026 sources as the lightest of any US state levying an income tax at all (base record).
Lisbon's property tax rate runs genuinely elevated
Ownwell cites Lisbon's own city-specific effective property tax rate at 1.40% -- above both Ransom County's 1.35% average and Ownwell's own cited 1.20% North Dakota state median (base record).
A real, disclosed dollar-bill offset despite the elevated rate
Lisbon's cited median tax BILL ($1,553, highest in Ransom County) still runs approximately $847 below a cited national median bill of $2,400, given Lisbon's genuinely modest underlying home values (base record).
A real, disclosed flood-insurance consideration
Given Lisbon's direct Sheyenne River flood exposure, this record discloses that a Lisbon-specific flood-insurance premium (distinct from general homeowners coverage) was not independently confirmed this pass -- confirm directly with a carrier (base record).
