A 5% base plus city and county taxes

North Dakota charges 5% statewide, and city and county taxes raise the average combined rate to 7.09% — an average local add-on near 2.1 percentage points. Combined totals vary across North Dakota cities and counties.

A North Dakota quirk is that many local jurisdictions cap the tax on large purchases, refunding the local portion above a set amount, so big-ticket items can be taxed at an effective rate below the combined figure. Enter your local rate; groceries are exempt, so some items are taxed differently. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
