§ 57-21-03 — Order of court

After hearing, the court may issue an order directing the tenant to pay to the county
treasurer all rents payable under the terms of the lease of the property, either due or to become
due, and also directing the county treasurer to apply the said payments of rent to the delinquent
and current taxes and special assessments, including penalty and interest, and the costs and
expenses of the proceeding as determined and taxed by the court. In such order, or thereafter,
upon application and hearing, the court, in its discretion, may allow to the taxpayer a percentage
of rents, property, and crops, as to the court may seem just, up to and including fifty percent
thereof, and may order the treasurer to pay such percentage to such taxpayer at such times and
under such circumstances as to the court may seem just and equitable.
