Mobile home taxes are a personal property tax in North Dakota. This tax is billed the first part of the year and due February 15th for a 5% discount, this is the same as real property. If two installments are made, these are due March 1st and August 1st. Late fees are assessed as soon as these due dates are missed. Being these mobile homes are a personal property tax, they only have one year to pay the tax as opposed to the 3 years for real property. For a complete schedule of these late fees and penalties, reach out to the County Treasurer's office.
