ND HB1392

Cities with populations exceeding 10,000 must adopt written policies within five months establishing how special assessment costs will be allocated among residential, commercial, and agricultural properties.

Policies must be adopted after public hearing and must separately specify the cost allocation method for each kind of special assessment and for properties subject to separate or special assessment factors.

When a city is dissolved, the county board of commissioners assumes control of all dissolved city property and employs a qualified person to manage and operate it.

The employed manager must execute a bond conditioned on faithful performance of duties and monthly payment of all collected charges to the county treasurer by the first day of each month.

Bond premiums are paid from city funds if available; otherwise, county funds cover the cost.
