The North Dakota Urban Renewal Taxes Referendum, also known as Referendum 4, was on the July 17, 1963 ballot in North Dakota as a veto referendum, where it was defeated.[1]
The measure would have authorized cities with populations of 40,000 or more who had undertaken urban renewal projects to levy a tax of 1.5 mills each year for 10 years for the city's share in additional projects in new urban renewal areas without voter approval. Cities with populations under 40,000 could have levied taxes of 2 mills with voter approval and no other restrictions.[2]
