Is NO3 polar or non polar? Why?

NO3 is not known.
NO3- is non polar. Although N-O bond is polar but it is resonance hybrid of 3 structures shown below.So all the N-O bond have equal polarity.The geometry is triagonal planar and dipole moment of 2 bonds cancel the third one hence resultant dipole moment is zero.
