N.D.C.C. § 57-21-02 — Notice to be given

A copy of the petition prescribed by section 57-21-01, and a notice of hearing thereon, must
be served upon the tenant and upon the owner of the real property in the manner provided by
law for the service of a summons in district court, or, upon order of the court endorsed upon the
notice of hearing, the said petition and notice may be served by mailing a copy of each by
registered or certified mail to the tenant, and a like copy to the owner of the record title of said
property, at the tenant's and owner's last-known post-office address, or to such address as may
appear of record in the office of the recorder or of the county treasurer, and in such case the
return registry receipt of the post office is prima facie proof of the mailing of such notice and of
its receipt by the tenant and the owner to whom it was mailed.
