North Dakota’s new governor has outlined a plan he said could eventually eliminate property taxes in the state.

During his first State of the State address on Jan. 7, Gov. Kelly Armstrong—in office since Dec. 15—told lawmakers that the state has accumulated enough revenue from oil production taxes in the state’s Legacy Fund to offer tax relief to most of North Dakota’s homeowners.
