North Dakota enforces recorded covenants but has no HOA-enforcement statute. For condominiums, N.D.C.C. § 47-04.1-04 makes recorded restrictions "enforceable equitable servitudes where reasonable." For other communities, covenants are enforced as contracts and equitable servitudes under common law; architectural-review and violation procedures come from the declaration, not from statute.
Covenant enforcement in North Dakota rests on the recorded declaration plus common law, not a dedicated HOA act. In condominiums, N.D.C.C. § 47-04.1-04 requires the owner to record "a declaration of restrictions ... which restrictions shall be enforceable equitable servitudes where reasonable, and shall inure to and bind all owners," enforceable "by any legal or equitable owner of a condominium in the project." Section 47-04.1-07 lets owners adopt bylaws and rules to administer the project. Outside the condominium context, North Dakota courts enforce recorded restrictive covenants under general real-property and contract law, subject to a reasonableness standard. No statute prescribes architectural-review committees, written violation notices, cure periods, or self-help remedies; those procedures are set by the recorded declaration and the board's rules, and an aggrieved owner may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court.
Covenant violations are enforced through the declaration's remedies and, for condominiums, as equitable servitudes under N.D.C.C. § 47-04.1-04. An association or aggrieved owner may seek an injunction or other equitable relief; available fines or other penalties depend on what the recorded declaration authorizes.
