Bill > HB1222

This bill creates and enacts new sections in the North Dakota Century Code related to nonconforming structures. The key provisions allow residential structures damaged beyond 50% of their value to be repaired, replaced, improved, maintained, restored, or rebuilt, as long as certain conditions are met, such as submitting a building permit application within six months, beginning restoration within one year, and not exceeding the size, height, or number of stories of the damaged structure. The bill also allows local zoning authorities to create less restrictive ordinances and regulations, and requires them to regulate the repair, replacement, and expansion of nonconforming structures in floodplain areas to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.
