Property taxes continue to skyrocket for North Dakota residents, with almost all facing annual increases. Kit Brenan from Hillsboro highlighted the impact of these hikes, explaining that even renters are affected as landlords pass down the costs. With the Hillsboro Board calling for a 12 mill increase vote to address financial difficulties, Brenan argues that residents are already burdened by rising costs and should not be further taxed. Pointing out the challenges faced by individuals like a single mother in Horace, who is facing a $1,400 monthly mortgage increase due to specials, Brenan questions why small towns are pushing people away rather than attracting them. Despite the appeal of a laid-back lifestyle in smaller communities, the rising costs could drive residents back to the city where they can get more amenities for their money. This issue is not unique to North Dakota, as property tax hikes are a national concern that needs to be addressed for the well-being of residents.
