Morton County board approves 2026 property valuations after appeals and adjustments
Summary
The Morton County Board of Tax Equalization on June 4 approved 2026 property valuations for cities, townships and the county after hearing public appeals; two individual land values were adjusted and two small grant modifiers were approved.
MANDAN, N.D. — The Morton County Board of Tax Equalization voted June 4 to approve the county’s 2026 property valuations after hearing appeals from residents and making several targeted adjustments.
At a meeting called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Chairman Nathan Boehm at the Morton County Courthouse, the board reviewed and approved valuation rolls for dozens of jurisdictions, including the cities of Almont, Mandan, New Salem, Hebron, Glen Ullin and Flasher, plus Captains Landing Township and rural Morton County parcels. City of Mandan Assessor Markley presented Mandan’s valuation overview before the board opened a public hearing on that city.
The board granted one adjustment during the Mandan hearing: an appeal by Ben Kappel for the property at 1712 14th Ave SE was approved and the parcel’s value was adjusted to $490,333.50. A separate appeal by Tori Meyer for 3103 Bayshore Bend was denied. During the rural Morton County hearing, Paige Larson’s appeal for 2838 County Rd 139A resulted in a land value adjustment to $32,500. Several residents, including Marshall Feland, Dustin Fleck, Debbie Kruckenberg and Keith Suchy, spoke about increases in their property values; Tax Director Lefleur explained a recent grade change affecting one property and offered to inspect properties on site.
The board also approved two grant modifiers for county parcels — $900 for parcel 30-0292500 and $500 for parcel 29-0088000. Following the hearings and adjustments, commissioners approved Morton County’s totals and then amended the residential total slightly before adopting the final figures. On a roll call vote for each motion, the board voted unanimously in favor.
The approved 2026 totals included (by jurisdiction): Almont — residential $3,647,900; Mandan — residential $2,276,419,000; New Salem — residential $59,653,000; Hebron — residential $37,576,800; Glen Ullin — residential $28,435,700; Flasher — residential $8,210,400; Captains Landing Township — residential $291,680,000. The countywide totals adopted were residential $3,404,495,500; commercial $1,434,946,500; agricultural $419,228,500. The board adjourned at 11:04 p.m.
Because valuation rolls form the taxable base used by local taxing authorities, the approvals finalize the assessed values that will be used in 2026 tax calculations unless overturned through later legal action or formal appeal channels.
