in effect26.1-01-07.5. Fire district maps - Insurance applications to show fire district in which
property is located - Penalty.
Before December first of each year, the insurance commissioner shall publish maps of the
fire districts of the state for use by insurers under this section for the following calendar year.
The state firefighter's association and the state fire marshal shall assist the insurance
commissioner in preparing the maps. After December 31, 1993, no insurer may issue or renew
a policy for fire, allied lines, homeowner's multiple peril, farmowner's multiple peril, commercial
multiple peril, or crop hail insurance coverage for property in this state unless the application
identifies each fire district in which the insured property is located. The application must identify
the property and insured value of the property located within each fire district if the policy
provides coverage for property that is not all within a single district. For purposes of this section,
"fire district" means rural fire protection district, city, or area served by a certified rural fire
department. An insurer that is found by the commissioner to be in violation of this section is
subject to a penalty of one hundred dollars for each violation to be deposited in the fire
insurance tax distribution fund. The insurance commissioner may adopt rules necessary for
administration of this section, including rules governing preparation, charges for, and use of
maps under this section.
