ND HB1330

Amends North Dakota Century Code section 40-23-07 to establish total area, front footage, or a combination of both as the preferred method for determining special assessment benefits to properties.

Prohibits special assessment commissions from considering assessed property value or zoning classification/specific use without first obtaining written consent from the property owner, except for properties used for agricultural purposes.

Requires cities with written special assessment policies to freeze their adopted policy once a resolution declaring improvements necessary is issued for an improvement district.

Allows special assessment commissions to use an alternative method under chapter 40-23.1 at their discretion instead of the preferred method.

Maintains existing exemptions for nonprofit cemeteries and requires public entities (counties, cities, school districts, park districts, townships) to pay special assessments through tax levies or other non-special assessment funds.
