BISMARCK (North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota motorists won’t see an increase in the gas tax. Members of the House previously advanced a 5-cent increase to the motor fuels tax to support maintenance of roads and bridges. It would have been North Dakota’s first gas tax increase in 20 years. But the Senate unanimously defeated a separate proposal with a 3-cent gas tax increase.

BISMARCK (North Dakota Monitor) – The North Dakota House and Senate compromised on a property tax package Friday, acting on one of the Legislature’s top priorities hours before the session wrapped up early Saturday. The property tax bill creates a $1,600 primary residence credit, more than triple the amount homeowners receive now. But one House member said he plans to promote an initiated measure for the November 2026 ballot that would aim to cut taxes for other property types.
