N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-22-11
In case the commissioner and the board or officer having charge of any property are unable to agree upon the insurable value of the property, the value must be determined by a recognized appraisal company at the expense of the state industry, political subdivision, an international peace garden, or a winter show owning the property, if the appraisal company arbitrator meets with the approval of both the commissioner and the board or officer concerned. If they are unable to agree on an arbitrator, then the matter must be submitted to arbitration by a board of arbitration selected as provided by this section. The commissioner and the board or officer in charge of the property each shall select one competent, disinterested contractor, architect, experienced appraiser, appraisal company, or one of the members of such board, and the two so chosen shall select a third person of similar qualification. The three arbitrators shall proceed to determine the insurable value of the property, and the decision of the arbitrators, or a majority of them, must be given in writing to the commissioner and the board or officials concerned and is binding upon both parties. Each party to the dispute shall pay the expense and charges of the arbitrator chosen by the party, and the expense and the charges of the third arbitrator must be borne equally by both parties to the dispute. The decision by the board of arbitration must be made within thirty days from the time the matter is submitted to it. Until the commissioner and board or officer in charge have agreed, or in case of dispute, until the decision of the appraisal company or arbitrators, the property must continue to be valued in the same amount as previously, or in case of new buildings or property, in the amount fixed by the commissioner. The same procedure must be followed in case of new construction or in any increase or decrease in values.
