Dickinson County Taxable Value Rises 4.7% in 2026
What happened
Baumgartner presented the annual apportionment report, noting that Dickinson County's total taxable value is $1.23 billion. The county's taxable value rose by $55 million in 2026, which is a 4.7% increase attributed to new construction and property transfers.
Why it matters
State law limits yearly increases in taxable value to either 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. The 2026 valuation increase is projected to generate about $315,000 in additional operating revenue for the county budget.
