N.D. Cent. Code § 40-61-09
An authority shall have power from time to time to issue notes and from time to time to issue renewal notes, herein referred to as notes, maturing not later than five years from their respective original dates for any purpose or purposes for which bonds may be issued, whenever an authority shall determine the payment thereof can be made in full from any moneys or revenues which an authority expects to receive from any source. Such notes may, among other things, be issued to provide funds to pay preliminary costs of surveys, plans, or other matters relating to any proposed or existing project. An authority may pledge such moneys or revenues, subject to any other pledge thereof, for the payment of the notes and may in addition secure the notes in the same manner and with the same effect as herein provided for bonds and may also secure the notes by the guarantee of two or more property owners. The notes shall be issued in the same manner as bonds. An authority shall have power to make contracts for the future sale from time to time of the notes, by which the purchasers shall be committed to purchase the notes from time to time on terms and conditions stated in such contracts, and an authority shall have power to pay such consideration as it shall deem proper for such commitments. In case of default on its notes, or violation of any of the obligations of an authority to the noteholders, the noteholders shall have all the remedies provided herein for bondholders.
