N.D.C.C. § 57-22-13.1 — Notice of sale given to county treasurer

No security interest in or other lien upon personal property is foreclosed by the sale of such
property unless the secured party, the secured party's agent or attorney, or the editor or
publisher of the printing concern or company which prints such foreclosure notice, at least five
days before the date of such sale, has mailed or delivered to the county treasurer of the county
in which the sale is to be held a copy of such notice of foreclosure sale. The notice must be
mailed to the county treasurer by registered or certified mail and must contain a list of the
personal property to be sold, with the name and address of the owners of such property. An
affidavit reciting the mailing or delivery of such notice to the county treasurer must be filed with
the report of sale required to be filed in the office of the recorder, and no such foreclosure sale is
valid unless such notice of sale has been mailed or delivered to the county treasurer as herein
provided.
