Without color of title, adverse possession in North Dakota requires a minimum of how many years of continuous, open, notorious, hostile, and exclusive possession?

Correct Answer

C) 20 years

Under NDCC § 28-01-04, adverse possession in North Dakota requires 20 years of continuous, open, notorious, hostile, and exclusive possession when the claimant does not hold color of title. A shorter 10-year period may apply under NDCC § 28-01-07 when the claimant holds color of title and has paid property taxes during that period.
