Senske Rentals v. City of Grand Forks

Summary

The Court held that a special assessment commission must determine each lot’s special benefit independently of the improvement’s cost before allocating assessment costs. Because the City used a cost-allocation method rather than making an independent benefit determination, the Court reversed the district court and remanded to the City. The Court also upheld the district court’s refusal to strike the Benefit and Assessment chart from the appellate record.
