Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Dickey County as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
A falling rate took the edge off
Dickey County's effective rate fell 15.2% across the 4-year span while its median home value rose 25.3%, leaving the median bill 6.2% higher at $1,488. That rate move is larger than the one in 65% of counties, so a good deal of the market's rise never reached the bill.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Very little moved here between 2020 and 2024: the typical bill went from $1,401 to $1,488, a change of 6%. The comparison describes county-level medians only; individual assessments and bills can differ.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 454 of 1,564 owner-occupied homes (29.0%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
Both the income and the rate here sit in the third quarter nationally, and the median bill is 2.2% of median household income. Two above-average figures pulling in opposite directions is why the rate on its own is a poor guide.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
What Dickey County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Dickey County homeowners, 454 of 1,564 owner-occupied homes (29.0%), pays $800 to $1,499 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 17.8% (278)
- $800 to $1,499 29.0% (454)
- $1,500 to $1,999 12.6% (197)
- $2,000 to $2,999 20.6% (322)
- $3,000 or more 12.4% (194)

Same rate as North Dakota, a smaller bill
The effective rate here sits within 7% of the North Dakota median, yet the median bill runs 40% below it. When the rate matches and the cheque does not, the difference is in what is being taxed, not how heavily: the same percentage applied to cheaper housing produces $1,488 here. That is why comparing counties on rate alone can invert the answer a homeowner actually cares about.

Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.
