About Your Property Tax Statement

2025 Property Tax Statements have been mailed.

If you do not receive your statement by December 31, 2025, or you have any questions about your statement in general, please contact the Treasurer’s Office

2025 Property Tax Statement Notes

The following changes were made to Property Tax Statements as the result of the 2025 Legislative Session:

  • Estimated Property Tax Statements were not sent in August; instead each taxpayer received a budget hearing notice with hearing dates and times for taxing districts where the taxpayer's address is located.
  • Levies related to school bonds (Sinking & Interest Levy) now show as a line item on the property tax statement as "Voter Approved School Bond."
  • For 2025 and 2026, the Primary Residence Credit is funded by the North Dakota Legacy Fund. This information is now required to be printed on the tax statement.

Property Tax Payments

The payment of taxes is divided into two equal payments.

  • First half is due on or before March 2, 2026
  • Second half is due on or before October 15, 2026.
  • If taxes are paid in full on or before February 17, 2026, a 5% discount is applied to the consolidated tax amount.

Property tax payment information

Where can I find the payoff balance for the Special Assessments on my property?

To find out the payoff balance for city special assessments, please contact the City directly.

The payoff balance for special assessments managed by Williams County can be found using the iTax system. First, search for your property. Then, on the property record page, select “Detail” in the center box titled “Taxes.” The table will show your Bond Principal and Interest owed for the current tax year, but also the Balance to pay off. For questions about County-managed specials, please contact the Finance Department.

Where can I find a copy of my property tax bill?

Your most recent tax bill can be accessed and downloaded by visiting iTax, our online property tax system. If you have questions about your tax bill, please contact the Treasurer’s Office.

Search by your parcel number, name, OR address. On your property record page, click “Show Current Tax Bill” in the center of the page.

 

If there are all these taxing entities, then why do I get one tax statement from the County?

Instead of getting several separate bills, you get one property tax statement from Williams County, and we distribute your payment to each of the other entities.

Why does my property tax bill go up or down?

Both the value of the mill AND the number of mills can affect your tax bill. If the same number of mills are on your tax statement this year as there were last year, but your home’s value increased by 5%, your tax bill will rise by 5% as well. Learn about how your property tax bill is calculated with Property Tax Basics.

What is a mill levy?

A “mill” is simply 1/1000th of anything. Mills are used to calculate property taxes. Williams County calculates the “mills” based on budgets determined by each taxing district in the county. Learn more about mill levies in Williams County on the Mill Levy Information webpage.

How do I obtain my Parcel ID Number (PIN)?

You can look up a Parcel ID Number (PIN) for any parcel in Williams County by using the Parcel Viewer Map or the iTax Property Tax system.

Does my zoning district affect my taxes?

The zoning of your property does not affect or impact property taxes. Zoning determines the allowable uses of the property, but zoning itself does not factor into the property value assessment that determines property taxes.

Where can I find property information?

Williams County provides historical and current property information such as valuations, taxes, structure details, etc. Learn more on the Property Information page.

What properties does Williams County have in tax foreclosure?

Every year in November Williams County holds a public tax foreclosure sale to auction off properties that have not paid their property taxes in the past three years. About a month prior to the sale the list of properties will be made available on the Tax Foreclosure page.

How do I find out about delinquent property tax?

To find out if your mobile home or property taxes are delinquent, check online or call the Treasurer’s Office at 701-577-4530.

If you are looking for a list of delinquent properties to be included in the annual Tax Foreclosure Sale, please visit the Tax Foreclosure webpage.
