Fargo Utility Bills Up 14 Percent | Fargo News

Fargo’s utility bills are set for a 14% hike next year, driven by soaring costs in water treatment, sewage, and materials — but thanks to a renewed 1-cent sales tax, residents will pay far less than they would without it. The tax, extended for 20 more years, keeps rates competitive: wastewater bills could jump $5, water $4.60, and a new line item for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project adds $3.15. Storm sewers and forestry also see small increases, while garbage, recycling, and street lighting stay flat. City leaders say this is still a bargain compared to similar cities. Public input is welcome at a Sept. 14 hearing before the final budget is set Sept. 28 — and rates for other cities using Fargo’s systems will also adjust.

Fargo-Moorhead Housing Tightrope | Fargo News

Fargo-Moorhead’s housing market is caught in a wild tug-of-war: mortgage rates are low and buying feels like a steal, but homes are scarce and expensive to build. Builders are slammed by soaring costs—zoning, permits, materials like copper up 35%, and a brutal labor shortage. Supply’s down 41% in five years, and they need 16,000 new homes in a decade just to keep pace. Delays add up, prices climb, and the community suffers without more homeowners. But for buyers? The available homes? Still a solid deal. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
