Property Tax Relief: How to Apply for the ND Primary Residence Credit

The North Dakota Primary Residence Credit offers significant property tax relief for Grand Forks homeowners. Eligible residents can apply online through the ND Office of State Tax Commissioner to receive a credit against their property tax statement, easing the financial burden of homeownership.

Property taxes can be a substantial expense for homeowners in Grand Forks County. To help alleviate this, the State of North Dakota introduced the Primary Residence Credit (PRC). This program allows qualifying homeowners to receive a credit that directly reduces the amount owed on their annual property tax bill. Understanding how and when to apply is key to keeping more money in your pocket.

Who Qualifies for the Credit?

To qualify for the Primary Residence Credit, you must own a home in North Dakota and reside in it as your primary residence. There are no age or income restrictions for this specific credit, making it widely accessible to most homeowners in Grand Forks. However, you can only claim the credit on one property—your primary home.

Grand Forks homeowners can benefit significantly from the ND Primary Residence Credit.

How to Apply

The application process is managed online through the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner's website. You will need to provide your property parcel number, which can be found on your previous property tax statement or by looking up your property on the Grand Forks County property tax portal.

It is highly recommended to apply early in the year to ensure the credit is processed and applied before property tax statements are mailed out in December. If you do not have internet access or need assistance with the application, the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center or local senior centers often provide guidance on navigating state tax portals.
