Minot and Ward County offices: what each one handles

Property valuation, tax balances, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different questions. Match the office to the record you need, and have the property address or notice ready when you call.

City of Minot Assessor

City of Minot only · assessed values and property valuation records

Start here for the assessed value or assessment record of a property within Minot city limits. The Assessor is a different contact from the county property-tax account, deed records, or court case records.

City of Minot Assessor ↗

Ward County Auditor/Treasurer

Ward County · property-tax accounts and unpaid-tax questions

Use the County property-tax page and Auditor/Treasurer for the parcel’s tax account, payment status, or an unpaid-tax notice. This is not the property-valuation office or the place to look up a deed or court judgment.

Ward County property-tax information ↗

Ward County Recorder’s Office

Ward County · deeds and recorded land documents

Ask the Recorder about a deed, mortgage, or other recorded land document for a Ward County property. Court case files and court judgments are a separate record path; use the Clerk of District Court for those.

Phone: (701) 857-6413

Ward County Recorder ↗

Clerk of District Court, Ward County

Ward County District Court · court case records and judgment or order questions

Start with the Clerk for a Ward County District Court case file, docket, judgment, or order. The Recorder handles recorded deeds and land documents. For whether a court record affects a particular property or sale, ask a title professional to review the parcel and record together.

Phone: (701) 857-6600

A useful North Dakota rule

No real-estate transfer tax, but the deed still needs a statement

North Dakota does not allow the state, a county, or a city to impose a tax on the transfer of real property. Before the deed is recorded, the buyer or the buyer's agent must certify on the deed either the full price paid or a qualifying exemption. The Ward County Recorder cannot record a deed without that statement. Ask your closing professional to prepare the right statement for your deed and confirm whether an exemption applies.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

For a property within Minot city limits, start with the City of Minot Assessor for the assessed value or assessment record. Ward County Auditor/Treasurer handles property-tax account questions; the Recorder handles recorded land documents.

Where should I ask about unpaid Ward County property taxes?

Use Ward County’s property-tax information and contact the Auditor/Treasurer about the parcel’s account, payment status, or a notice. For a sale, have the title professional confirm the property-specific amount and how it is handled.

Where do I look for a deed versus a court judgment?

Contact the Ward County Recorder about deeds and other recorded land documents. Contact the Clerk of District Court about a Ward County court case, docket, judgment, or order. Ask a title professional whether a particular court record affects the property or sale.

Does North Dakota charge a real-estate transfer tax?
