North Dakota's Measure 4 proposes abolishing property taxes, risking essential services funding.

North Dakota's Measure 4 proposes abolishing property taxes, which could jeopardize essential services like schools, public safety, and road maintenance. While supporters claim the state would cover lost revenue, the Legislature would need over $2.5 billion per biennium—an unlikely scenario. This measure could also diminish local control over budget decisions. The recommendation is to reduce property taxes instead of eliminating them entirely.
