North Dakota Century Code Title 57. Taxation § 57-55-11. Collection--Enforcement--Penalty

1. The director of tax equalization shall make an inspection of each mobile home park, lot, or other place in which mobile homes are located, for the purpose of determining whether the provisions of this chapter are being complied with. If the director determines that any person is not complying with the provisions of this chapter, the director shall give such person a warning that if such person fails to comply within ten days after the issuance of such warning, the director of tax equalization may begin civil action against such person. In the alternative, if the director of tax equalization determines that there are mobile homes in the director's county belonging to transients or nonresidents who have failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter, and in the director's opinion the taxes will be uncollectible if immediate action is not taken, the director shall notify the county sheriff. The county sheriff shall immediately, and in no event later than five days after receiving such notification, commence proceedings as provided by law to collect the taxes, penalties, and interest, if any, which are due.

2. Before a mobile home is moved from its existing location, a moving permit must be obtained by the owner from the county director of tax equalization indicating that all taxes, penalties, and interest levied against the mobile home have been paid. While the mobile home is being transported, the moving permit must be displayed on the rear of the mobile home. Any person who violates this provision is guilty of an infraction, for which a fine of no less than one hundred dollars and no more than five hundred dollars may be imposed.
