N.D. Cent. Code § 61-24.8-21
61-24.8-21. Lien of special assessment
61-24.8-21. Lien of special assessment
A special assessment imposed by the district, with accrued interest and penalties, is a lien
upon the property on which the assessment is levied from the time the assessment list is
approved by the board until the assessment is fully paid. The liens have precedence over all
other liens except general tax liens and may not be divested by any judicial sale. Mistake in the
description of the property covered by the special assessment lien or in the name of the owner
of such property does not defeat the lien if the assessed property can be identified by the
description in the assessment list. This chapter must be considered notice to all subsequent
encumbrances of the priority of special assessments imposed under this chapter.
