BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota’s Primary Residence Credit (PRC) application period is open.
The period opened today (Thursday) to eligible homeowners across North Dakota. The PRC offers a property tax credit of up to $1,600 to help reduce property taxes for qualifying North Dakota homeowners.
“As the cost of living rises, so does the importance of programs like the primary residence property tax credit,” stated Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus. “Increasing the credit amount from $500 to $1,600 this past legislative session provides additional relief to eligible homeowners in communities across our state.”
To qualify for the Primary Residence Credit:
- The home must serve as the applicant’s primary residence and meet qualifying criteria
- There are no age or income restrictions
- Only one credit is allowed per household
- Applications must be submitted by April 1, 2026
“Housing-related expenses represent, on average, one third of living costs for a typical North Dakota family, significantly impacting citizens and especially those on fixed incomes, including seniors and young families,” Commissioner Kroshus emphasized. “This year’s increased credit amount of $1,600 is both timely and meaningful.”
The deadline to apply is April 1. You can apply online at http://www.tax.nd.gov/prc.
