11-28.2-04. Powers of recreation service districts - Levying of special assessments
Each recreation service district established under this chapter may provide services, which
may include police protection, sewer and water, garbage removal services, and public road
construction and maintenance, in addition to those provided by the local governing body or
other agency to summer homes, cottages, and other residences and establishments that exist
within its boundaries, provide for the improvement and control of the environmental quality of
the recreation service district, and levy special assessments necessary to provide the services.
Any project or service provided by a recreation service district other than under section
11-28.2-04.1 must first be approved by a majority of the qualified voters of the district affected
by the special assessment and present and voting at an annual or special meeting called as
provided in this chapter. The levying of special assessments for services and improvement of
environmental quality must be levied against those parcels of property benefited in the manner
provided by law for the levying of special assessments for municipalities and the costs of police
protection may be levied in that manner. A recreation service district may contract with other
political subdivisions for joint or cooperative action as provided in chapter 54-40. The board of
recreation service district commissioners are responsible for the administration and accounting
of any obligations and accounts undertaken in accordance with this chapter. The board of
recreation service district commissioners shall serve as the special assessment commission
and shall make a complete list of the annual benefits and assessments on each parcel of
property within the district. The board shall also hear appeals from aggrieved property owners
concerning assessments made and may increase or decrease any assessment if just and
necessary. A special assessment may not exceed the benefits determined by the board to the
parcel of property assessed. The board may cooperate with the state or federal government in
furnishing assurances and meeting local cooperation requirements, within the scope of the
power of the board, in connection with any project involving the construction, improvement,
operation, maintenance, conservation, or use of the area, including waters, within the recreation
service district.
