Tax Equalization

The Director of Equalization office oversees the property tax assessment function for property in unincorporated areas and for incorporated cities and townships that contract with the county for assessment services. In addition to assisting the public, we advise the Morton County Commission concerning valuation, taxation, and assessment issues. We also administer the mobile home tax assessment and collection.
