North Dakota Supreme Court

Senske Rentals v. City of Grand Forks

September 12, 20242024 ND 172

Summary

The court held that the special assessment commission failed to comply with the statute because it allocated project costs without independently determining the dollar amount of special benefits to each lot. The court also held that the district court properly refused to strike the benefit-and-assessment chart from the appellate record. It reversed the district court and remanded to the City for an independent benefit determination and application of that benefit as a cap on each assessment.
