Haakon County Property Tax Appeal Guide
In Haakon County, file your appeal by March 12, 2026 at Haakon County Director of Equalization's online portal.
| Deadline | Sequential boards of equalization. First step (residents): file a written appeal with the clerk of the LOCAL board of equalization, received by the second Monday in March (March 12, 2026); the local board meets beginning the third Monday in March (March 16, 2026) and adjourns by the following Friday (March 20, 2026). If still aggrieved, file a written appeal with the COUNTY auditor by the first Monday in April (April 7, 2026); the county board sits from the second Monday in April (April 14, 2026) through the first Monday in May (May 5, 2026). Jurisdictions that consolidated the local and county boards run a single Consolidated Board on the same county-board calendar. Non-residents and unorganized-township owners may appeal directly to the county board, skipping the local board. Because the homeowner's primary/first action (the local-board appeal deadline) is set by statute relative to the board session rather than a single fixed statewide calendar date, the controlling 2026 date is the local-board filing deadline of March 12, 2026. |
