Last push! This only takes a couple minutes and is so easy to apply. Please know you CAN stack your credits! We’ve had phone calls from people that did not realize they can have both the homestead credit and the primary residence credit. You must reapply each year.

The Office of State Tax Commissioner reminds eligible homeowners to apply for the Primary Residence Credit by April 1, 2026. Only two days remain to apply and potentially receive up to $1,600 toward your property tax statement. Apply today! tax.nd.gov/prc

Ward County will host a public input meeting on Thursday, February 26 from 5-7 p.m. to discuss the reconstruction and future paving of County Road 23 from Sawyer to the junction of Hwy 2.

The meeting will be held at the Sawyer City Hall Pavillion located at 45 Main Street, Sawyer, ND. The meeting will be an open house format with no formal presentation.

The project includes reconstruction of the existing roadway and future paving of the gravel surface to include two 12-foot driving lanes with two-foot shoulders. Construction is tentatively scheduled for 2027 and 2028, depending on the availability of funding.

Representatives from Ward County and KLJ Engineering will be on hand to answer questions and discuss concerns.

If unable to attend the meeting, comments can be submitted on the project website: https://bit.ly/WardCR23 or email Dana Larsen at [email protected].
