57-02.1-05. Computation of payment - Remittance to counties 1. Upon receipt of the decision of the state board of equalization, the director of the game and fish department shall compute the payments due to the counties in which property subject to valuation is located by extending the mill levies which apply to other taxable property in the taxing districts in which the property is located. The mill levies must be extended against the property subject to valuation in the same manner as used for other taxable property in the taxing districts. If the property subject to valuation is leased or held by lease or license from the United States, the director of the game and fish department shall deduct from the payment due to the county any amount paid to that county by the United States or any agency or instrumentality of the United States in lieu of real estate taxes on that property, up to a maximum of seventy-five cents per acre [hectare]. The payments due to each county are the figure determined as herein provided. No county may receive less in these payments for any parcel or tract of land for any year than the county received in payments made pursuant to this chapter for 1974. 2. After computing the payments due to each county, the director of the game and fish department shall remit to the counties the amounts due from the department, on or before March first of the succeeding year for which the assessments and valuations were made.
