North Dakota § 61-10-27

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 61: Waters
• Ch. 61-10: Changing Boundaries of Irrigation Districts

Text

If the board of directors deems a change in district boundaries to include any of the lands
mentioned in the petition is not in the best interests of the district, the board shall reject the
petition. If the board deems the change is in the best interest of the district, the board shall grant
the petition in whole or in part and by resolution direct the chairman and the secretary of the
board to issue an order including all or any part of the lands mentioned in the petition in the
district, unless electors who together own at least ten percent of the whole number of acres
[hectares] in the district subject to assessment for irrigation costs object in writing at or before
the time of hearing to the inclusion of the lands. When lands are included in a district, the order
of the board of directors allowing inclusion must be filed with the department of water resources
and with the county auditor of each county in which the lands are situated. The order also must
be filed and recorded in the office of the recorder of each such county.
