North Dakota collected $1.3 billion in income, license, miscellaneous other, property and sales and gross receipts taxes during the third quarter of 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

This is a 33.8 percent increase over the same quarter the previous year when combined tax revenues were $969 million.

The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through miscellaneous other taxes ($611 million) and sales and gross receipts taxes ($488 million).

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments. Also, not all states collect all types of taxes.

Type of Tax	Amount (in millions of dollars)
Income Taxes	$169
License Taxes	$29
Other Taxes	$611
Property Taxes	$0
Sales and Gross Receipts Taxes	$488
