North Dakota Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in North Dakota. There's no per-mile state credential to buy and no state mileage return to file. You still owe the shared floor every state has: IFTA fuel tax filed quarterly, an IRP apportioned plate, and, at 55,000 lb and up, the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290), whose stamped Schedule 1 you need to renew that plate. IFTA and IRP run through NDDOT Motor Carrier Services.
