The current commissioner is Brian Kroshus, who was appointed by Governor Doug Burgum in 2022 after the resignation of Ryan Rauschenberger.

The office has been used as a pathway to larger roles in North Dakota government; recent tax commissioners have run for governor, attorney general, and the U.S. House.

Former U.S. senators Byron Dorgan, Kent Conrad, and Heidi Heitkamp all served as tax commissioners.
