N.D. Cent. Code § 61-11-12
After the sale of the property and franchises of an irrigation district, the board, with the moneys realized from such sale together with such other funds as such district may have, shall make settlement, payment, and redemption of all outstanding bonded or other indebtedness of the district, but in no case shall such board pay more than the par value of outstanding bonds or warrants, as the case may be, with interest up to the time of payment. If the amount realized from the sale of such district property, together with other moneys of the district, shall be insufficient for the payment of all the indebtedness of the district, such district shall not be dissolved or discontinued until such indebtedness is fully paid, and assessments shall continue to be made against the lands in the district in the manner provided by law for the levy of assessments to pay bonds and other indebtedness of irrigation districts until a sufficient amount is raised to pay in full all obligations of such district.
