North Dakota Century Code — Title 57 (Taxation)
N.D.C.C. § 57-22-29
Contract for tax collection - Contracts validated
# 1.
In any county where for any reason personal property taxes that have been delinquent more than one year remain unpaid and uncanceled, whether put into judgment or not, the board of county commissioners may contract with the sheriff of the county, or with any elector of the state, to pay a percentage of the delinquent personal property taxes, not exceeding ten percent of the amount collected, as compensation for collecting the same, in lieu of, or in addition to, the compensation provided by law for said sheriff.
When a contract is made with any person other than the sheriff, the county commissioners may in their discretion pay any reasonable salary or expenses or a percentage of the tax collected, or combination thereof, and the contract may cover all or only certain taxing districts within the county, and contracts may be made with different collectors for different portions of the county. In the event delinquent personal property taxes are owed by a person not residing in North Dakota, the county commissioners may contract with any person, firm, corporation, or limited liability company, to pay a reasonable percentage of the delinquent taxes collected, as compensation for the collection. Such contractors shall execute either a personal or corporate surety bond conditioned upon satisfactory performance of the provisions of the contract and shall be in an amount and of a type approved by the county commissioners.
# 2.
All contracts heretofore made and entered into by county commissioners for the collection and recovery of personal property taxes are declared legal and valid notwithstanding the provisions of law to the contrary.
