N.D. Cent. Code § 60-06-15
60-06-15. Application to existing leaseholds
60-06-15. Application to existing leaseholds
The provisions of this chapter apply to the renewal or sale of existing leaseholds on railroad
rights of way, and to existing leaseholds on lands that have ceased to be used for railroad rights
of way after the leasehold was first created, and so long thereafter as the lease site remains
under the ownership or control of the railroad or an entity that was or is under common
ownership or control of the railroad. The value of a leaseholder's improvements may not be
considered in determining annual rental or the gross sum for the right, privilege, and easement
sought.
