North Dakota § 40-22.1-03

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 40: Municipal Government
• Ch. 40-22.1: Special Assessments for Promotion of Business Activity

Text

Any business improvement district created by a municipality may embrace two or more
separate property areas. A business improvement district must include all properties which in
the judgment of the governing body, after consultation with the city auditor or city auditor's
designee planning the improvement, will be benefited by the creation of all or a portion of the
business improvement project. A district may be created without uniformity among the types,
items, or quantities of work and materials to be used at particular locations throughout the
district. The jurisdiction of a municipality to make, finance, and assess the cost of any
improvement project may not be impaired by any lack of commonness, unity, or singleness of
the location, purpose, or character of the improvement, or by the fact that any one or more of
the properties included in the district is subsequently determined not to be benefited by the
improvement, or by a particular portion of the improvement. Upon receipt of a petition signed by
the owners of three-fourths of the area to be added to a business improvement district in which
an improvement is proposed or created, the governing body may enlarge the district. Any district
created under this chapter shall include only property devoted, in whole or in part, to commercial
or business use.
