N.D. Cent. Code § 11-08-08

Current through the 2023 Legislative Sessions

Section 11-08-08 - When appointment of officers made - Qualification

The county officers to be appointed must be appointed by the board of county commissioners at the following times in the year in which the county consolidated office form of government goes into effect:

1. On or before the fifteenth day of January, the coroner must be appointed, and the coroner must qualify within ten days thereafter.

2. Not less than ten days prior to April first, the county auditor must be appointed, and the appointee qualify within ten days thereafter.

3. Not less than ten days prior to May first, the county treasurer must be appointed, and the appointee must qualify within ten days thereafter.

Thereafter, the appointments must be made within ten days prior to the expiration of the terms of office of the officers. The failure of the board of county commissioners to make any appointment within the time prescribed does not impair its power to make the appointment subsequently for the remainder of the term of office of the officer so appointed.
