Morton County commissioners approved multiple tax-abatement requests during the June 24 meeting, including veterans’ credits submitted by the City of Mandan and homestead/mobile-home credits for county properties.
Why it matters: Abatements adjust property tax liabilities for eligible homeowners (veterans’ credits, homestead credits, mobile-home exemptions) and require formal county approval when submitted by city or county tax authorities.
County auditor and staff presented abatement items with the relevant City of Mandan documentation attached for veterans credits (abatement numbers 7119, 7120, 7121 for various years). The auditor also presented homestead credits for abatements 7122–7124 (mobile-home and homestead credits for 2023–2025). Commissioners moved and seconded the abatements, and votes were recorded in open session as the motions carried.
Next steps: County auditor will process the abatements and adjust tax rolls per the approved credits.
