Bill > HB1384

This bill amends a section of the North Dakota Century Code related to eminent domain and the assessment of damages. The key provision of the bill is that if the property being condemned consists of a primary residence, the court must increase the award of damages by 20% after the initial assessment by the trier of fact, though this 20% increase cannot be considered by the trier of fact in their original assessment. This change is intended to provide additional compensation to homeowners whose primary residences are subject to eminent domain proceedings.
