Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Grant 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
Grant County's effective rate fell 15.8% across the 4-year span while its median home value rose 23.3%, leaving the median bill 3.8% higher at $845. That rate move is larger than the one in 68% 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 $814 to $845, a change of 4%. The comparison describes county-level medians only; individual assessments and bills can differ.
The largest reported group here falls at the bottom of the national range: 374 of 883 owner-occupied homes (42.4%) report annual real-estate taxes under $800. This distribution describes reported owner-occupied homes, not an affordability judgment for any property.
Earnings are below the national midpoint while the rate is above it, and the median bill equals 1.5% of median household income. The gap between those two positions is the whole story on this page.
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 Grant County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Grant County homeowners, 374 of 883 owner-occupied homes (42.4%), pays less than $800 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 42.4% (374)
- $800 to $1,499 25.8% (228)
- $1,500 to $1,999 7.4% (65)
- $2,000 to $2,999 8.5% (75)
- $3,000 or more 4.2% (37)
Census ACS 2024, table B25102. Bands and the no-tax share sum to 100%.

Grant County's bill vs state & U.S. medians
Median annual bill bars around Grant County's LIGHT ACS 2024 figure.
Grant County's median bill is 66% below the North Dakota median and 58% below the U.S. median.
Same rate as North Dakota, a smaller bill
The effective rate here sits within 8% of the North Dakota median, yet the median bill runs 66% 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 $845 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.

IRS county file: no disclosed Grant County Schedule A rows
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for Grant County. That is a limit of the published data rather than a finding about the county: county-level figures are withheld where the counts are too small to disclose safely, which is common in places with few filers. Roughly one county in sixteen is in this position, so the filer view available elsewhere on this site is simply not available here. Source: IRS Statistics of Income county data.
