N.D.C.C. § 57-15-12.2 — Exceptions to tax levy limitations for park districts

Repealed by S.L. 2015, ch. 439, § 104.
57-15-12.3. Park district levy for land acquisition and development of recreational
facilities.
In addition to its general fund levy authority, a board of park commissioners established
pursuant to chapter 40-49 may levy taxes annually not exceeding five mills per dollar of taxable
valuation in the district for a fund for the purpose of acquiring real estate as a site for public
parks, construction of recreational facilities, renovation and repair of recreational facilities, and
the furnishing of recreational facilities. The tax is to be levied, spread, and collected in the same
manner as are other taxes in the park district. The question of whether the levy is to be
discontinued must be submitted to the qualified electors at the next regular election upon
petition of twenty -five percent or more of the qualified electors voting in the last regular park
district election, if the petition is filed not less than sixty days before the election. If the majority
of the qualified electors voting on the question vote to discontinue the levy, it may not again be
levied without a majority vote of the qualified electors voting on the question at a later regular
Page No. 10
election on the question of relevying the tax, which question may be submitted upon petition as
above provided or by decision of the governing board.
