WHEREAS, North Dakota statutory law authorizes the Burlington City Council to grant exemptions up to $150,000 of the true and full value of residential dwellings for single family homes, condominiums, and townhouses; and
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Burlington, that, pursuant to sections 57-02-08(35); $75,000.00 of the true and full value of all new single family residential property, exclusive of the land on which it is situated, is exempt from taxation from the first two taxable years after the taxable year in which the construction is completed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that up to $75,000.00 of the true and full value of all condominium and townhouse residential properties, exclusive of the land on which it is situated, is exempt from taxation for the first two taxable years after the taxable year in which construction is completed.
The exemption from taxation authorized by this resolution shall only be effective if all special assessments and other taxes on the property are not delinquent. Further, the first occupant of the property after construction is completed must own the property, Anderson seconded and motion carried on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Work on the RV Dump is on hold until Spring.
With the new civil defense sirens installed Council asked Diane to advertise the old ones for sale on the NDLC listserv. Clint indicated there would be a training session on use of the civil defense sirens.
