contents We constrain the redshift dependence of (rest frame) host galaxy dispersion measures of localized Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) by assuming it to vary as a simple power law ($\propto (1+z)^α$). We simultaneously fit $α$ as well as the host dispersion measure to the data of FRBs with known redshifts. We find that \color{black} $α$ between 0 to 1 is preferred depending upon our modelling choices. Current data can constrain $|α|\lesssim 2$ at a 68 percent confidence interval \color{black}. Such constraints have implications for our understanding of galaxy formation and can be used to inform galaxy and large scale simulations.
