N.D. Cent. Code § 32-12.1-13
The compromised amount of a judgment agreed upon may be made payable in stated annual installments over a period not exceeding twenty-five years and at an annual rate of interest of not more than five percent. The governing body, by a resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of its members, may issue bonds payable serially and maturing annually, as the parties may agree, and in the amounts of the annual installments and interest determined by the compromise, in satisfaction and discharge of the judgment. Bonds issued under this section shall be delivered to the judgment creditor upon the release of the judgment and in consideration of the full satisfaction thereof. The bonds shall be executed in the name of the political subdivision by the executive officer and the auditor or fiscal officer thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the bonds shall be in the form prescribed for political subdivision bonds which are payable from the levy of a general tax. Prior to the delivery of the bonds to the judgment creditor, the bonds shall be certified and recorded by the auditor or fiscal officer in the manner provided by the laws of this state for the certification and recording of general obligation bonds of political subdivisions.
