Primary Residence Property Tax Credit

The Primary Residence Credit (PRC) provides North Dakota homeowners with the opportunity to apply annually for a state property tax credit through the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner. Homeowners who qualify through an approved application may receive up to $1,600 against their property tax obligation.

To be eligible for the credit, you must own a home (house, mobile home, town home, duplex, or condo) in North Dakota and reside in it as your primary residence. Homes held in trusts also qualify. There are no age restrictions or income limitations for this credit. Only one Primary Residence Credit is available per household.

This current application window will be available until April 1st, 2026, and is available ONLINE ONLY at https://www.tax.nd.gov/prc.

Disabled Veterans Property Tax Credit

Veterans of the United States armed forces with a disability of 50% or greater are eligible to apply. For a married couple, if both individuals are eligible, then they can both apply, but their combined credits may not exceed 100% of $8,100 of taxable value on the property. A qualifying disabled veteran who acquires the homestead during the year may apply for credit for the portion of the year during which the veteran owns the homestead.  This credit must be applied for through the appropriate city or county assessor’s office.
