NDFB supports Measure 4

Topic: Issues

Bismarck, N.D. – NDFB President Daryl Lies issued the following statement on behalf of NDFB in support of North Dakota’s Initiated Measure 4 which would prohibit state and local governments from levying taxes on the assessed value of real or personal property.

"Last November, during the NDFB Annual Meeting, NDFB members passed a policy advocating for the elimination of the current property tax system. As a grassroots policy development organization, NDFB supports Measure 4, reflecting our members' wishes.

"The freedom to own property is the foundation of our American Dream. We believe the passage of Measure 4 will enhance our freedom by removing valuation based taxation of our private property.

"NDFB is committed to assisting and guiding the legislature in the essential task of prioritizing funding to replace the resources allocated to municipalities, as specified in the measure."
