North Dakota's individual income tax runs a real, current 3-bracket graduated structure (0%/1.95%/2.50% top rate) -- the lowest top marginal rate of any US state with an income tax at all -- alongside a 5.00% state sales tax rate (combined average ~6.89%) (base record).
Oakes's own below-national property tax rate, with a disclosed tension
Ownwell cites Oakes's median effective property tax rate at 1.00% -- below the ~1.02% national figure, though this record discloses a real, unresolved tension: that same source's own cited ND statewide median (1.30%) runs above this project's own ND state record's 0.99% statewide anchor (base record).
A real, disclosed homeowners-insurance gap
No Oakes-specific insurance premium was confirmed this pass; this record applies North Dakota's statewide $1,300-$2,400/year range (base record).
