A North Dakota Senate committee has rejected an attempt to give senior citizens a break on property taxes.
Senate Bill 22-70 would have allowed those over the age of 65 to reduce the value of a primary residence by 70%. To qualify the individual would also need to have lived on the property for two-years and be current on all taxes.
Supporters say it’s another way to help those on a fixed income. Alexis Baxley of the North Dakota School Board Association told lawmakers that the 65 and up crowd accounts for 16% of the state’s population. Baxley says reducing the tax base could shift more costs onto the state or other property owners.
