BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota voters this fall could largely end property taxes by approving a ballot measure that opponents say would drastically slash a variety of state services, but supporters argue would provide long-sought relief the state can afford.

If passed, the constitutional initiative would eliminate property taxes based on assessed value and require the Republican-controlled Legislature to replace the lost revenue. A top legislative panel estimated that total cost to be $3.15 billion every two years — a huge number for a state that passed a $6.1 billion, two-year general fund budget in 2023.
