If you’re a Minot resident, your mail might bring a welcome surprise this week: a lighter property tax bill. While Ward County’s levy nudges up slightly, Minot city, park, and public school taxes are easing off. For many, this could mean about $106 saved per $100,000 of home value.

However, changes in school district levies and other local variations mean not everyone reaps the same rewards.
