The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced that North Dakota will receive $1,988,436 in Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funding for 2024. These funds are intended to support costs associated with maintaining essential community services. PILT payments are calculated based on the number of acres of federal land within each county or jurisdiction and its population.
The PILT program was fully funded when Congress passed six FY24 appropriations bills in March. In FY23, North Dakota received over $2 million in PILT payments to counties encumbered by non-taxable federal land.
