The process to fill out the form online to get the ND Primary Residence (Tax) Credit for next year is fairly intuitive but if you need some help to do it, my step-by-step Directions are below.
But first:
The Primary Residence Credit was established during the 2023 Legislative Session under House Bill 1158. The credit provides all North Dakota homeowners with the option to apply for a state property tax credit through the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner.
Homeowners with an approved application from the North Dakota Tax Commissioner’s office may receive up to a $500 credit against their 2024 property tax obligation.
Applications are due by March 31, 2024.
To be eligible for the credit, you must own a home (house, mobile home, town home, duplex, or condo) in North Dakota, and reside in it as your primary residence.
There are NO age restrictions or income limitations for this credit.
Only one Primary Residence Credit is available per household.
For help I think it best to call the ND Tax Commissioners office directly at:
Phone: 701-328-7988
Toll Free: 1-877-649-0112
Email: taxprc@nd.gov
You may also visit the Grand Forks City Assessing Department at Grand Forks city hall or call them at 701-7462611.
You can also call the Grand Forks County Treasurers office at 701-780-8292.
To fill out the form you will need your Social Security # and the Parcel Number associated with your primary residence address. The Parcel Number can be found on your yearly property tax bill from the county. You can also find it on-line at www.gfcounty.nd.gov/our-county/property-taxes/gis-property-document-searches/property-search. You could also call to get it from the Grand Forks City Assessing department or Grand Forks County Treasurers office at either of the numbers above.
DIRECTIONS:
1. In your internet search browser type in www.tax.nd.gov/prc and Click the enterbutton on your keyboard.
2. You have now landed on the North Dakota Tax Department page called Primary Residence Credit. It is the first step in your application process.
-Scroll down a little until you see an elongated box along the left side called Primary Residence Credit Application and Click on it.
3. You have now landed on the page called Primary Residence Credit Information.
-This page contains a brief summary of the $500 credit that will be applied to your property tax statement next year. They remind you that to complete your application you will need your:
a. Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to verify your identity.
b. Property Parcel Number to identify the property to receive the credit.
-Scroll down and look for the blue box labeled Next in the lower right corner and Click on it. (Remember, if you need to go back to a page during this process look for the box labelled Previousin the lower right corner.)
4. You have now landed on the page called Application Information.
-Find the box labelled Property Owners Full Name where you are Required to fill in your name. (I suspect they want you to use your full legal name as per your ND tax return.)
-Next see a square little check box that says Check this box if you don’t have an SSN or an ITIN. (Honestly, I don’t know what to tell you if you do not have a SSN or ITIN, aka, Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. I suspect you could call the ND Tax Department. I am skipping that check box for this review.)
-Next on this page find the box labelled ID Type. It says Social Security # inside the box by default - which most people will use - and thus I would say to leave alone. (There is a little down arrow on the right side in this Social Security box. If you Click on it, you will toggle over to the option of using an ITIN to log in if that is your choice. FYI: If you toggle to the ITIN choice their abbreviation for it in the box is called Ind. Taxpayer Identification #. To toggle out of the ITIN option Click the toggle to switch back to the Social Security option.)
-Next find the box labelled ID directly below your choice of using your Social Security # or Ind. Taxpayer Identification #. This is the box where you are Required to enter your social security number or your ITIN. Note: As you enter in your social security number you may add the dashes between the segments of numbers or not bother. Their system will automatically format it to 999-99-9999.
-Once you have completed this page look for the blue box labeled Next in the lower right corner and Click on it.
5. You have now landed on the page called Parcel Information.
-Look for the box labelled County. The box has the word Requiredin it. Click anywhere in that box and then use your mouse to scroll down thru the list of counties until you land on your county. With your county now highlighted Click on it.
-Next below the Countybox is another box labeled as Parcel Number. The box has the word Requiredin it. This is where you enter the Parcel Number associated with your property by the county. (See the beginning of this on how to get your residential Parcel Number if you do not have it.)
-Once you have chosen your County and filled in your Parcel Number look for the blue box labeled Next in the lower right corner and Click on it.
6. You have now landed on the page called the Physical Property Address page.
-If you have filled out everything correctly so far, it looks like their system will automatically crosscheck everything about you and your property from their associated records. To confirm the shown information with you there is a little square box to check next to the question Is the following address information correct? Hopefully it is and you can move on. If not, look for the Previous button in the lower right corner and Click on it to go back to any page and correct any mistakes.
-Once you have checked over this page and made any necessary corrections look for the blue box labeled Next in the lower right corner and Click on it.
7. You have now landed on the page called the Primary Residence Credit page.
-Look over to see your Property Owner Full Name, Social Security number and Parcel Number are correct. If so, look for the square little check box that says, By checking this box I declare I have examined this application and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete. If the information is correct Check the box.
-Next there is a box labeled Contact information. It asks for your email address but it is not obligatory.
-Next there is another box called Phone Number that you are Required to fill in. (If you do not have a phone number find a way to call the ND Tax Commissioners office for help with that.) Once you have completed this page look for the blue box labeled Next in the lower right corner and Click on it.
8. You have now landed on the page that I call your ‘Receipt’. Print off a copy for your tax records if you want.
It might be a good idea to call the ND Tax department for peaced-of-mind confirmation that you have a completed application on file.
Congratulations!
