ND SB2221

Increases North Dakota homestead exemption from $100,000 to $150,000 in value, covering land, dwelling house, appurtenances, and improvements.

Defines "contiguous" for homestead purposes as two or more tracts of real property that share a common point or would share one but for an intervening road or right of way.

Modifies exemption on other debts to apply when homestead value exceeds $150,000 over liens or encumbrances, with exemption limited to value exceeding the sum of liens, encumbrances, and $150,000.

Requires that when a homestead is sold, proceeds up to the $150,000 exemption amount be paid to the claimant, with remaining proceeds applied to satisfy execution.

Allows courts to deposit $150,000 of sale proceeds in court for married couples, requiring joint receipt of both spouses for withdrawal and providing same legal protections as the original homestead.
