North Dakota collected $990 million combined tax revenues and income taxes during the first quarter of 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through property, severance taxes ($443 million) and general sales and gross receipts taxes ($365 million).
