Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in LaMoure 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.
The rate held while the market moved
LaMoure County sits in the quarter of U.S. counties whose effective rate moved least over this span: 3.7% down, against a median home value that rose 17.3%.
A near-steady rate on a moving market passes that movement straight through: the median bill rose 12.9%, from $1,051 to $1,187.
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
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $1,051 to $1,187, a gain of 13%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 558 of 1,458 owner-occupied homes (38.3%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
Earnings are in the national top quarter and the rate is above the midpoint, so the median bill represents 1.5% of median household income. A headline bill conflates the dollar figure with the proportion; the two come apart here, and the ratio above is the second of them.
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 LaMoure County Homeowners Actually Pay

Same rate as North Dakota, a smaller bill
The effective rate here sits within 2% of the North Dakota median, yet the median bill runs 52% 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 $1,187 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 LaMoure County Schedule A rows
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for LaMoure 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.
