BISMARCK — The North Dakota Game and Fish Department recently paid more than $729,000 in taxes to counties in which the department owns or leases land, the Department reported this week. The 2022 in-lieu-of-tax payments are the same as property taxes paid by private landowners.
The Game and Fish Department manages more than 200,000 acres for wildlife habitat and public hunting in 51 counties. The department does not own or manage any land in Traill or Renville counties.
The goal of the study is to track long-billed curlew movements and learn more about their habitat use in North Dakota and elsewhere.
