Small Claims Fee Limit in North Dakota

Under North Dakota law, the maximum amount you can seek in small claims court is $15,000, as set by N.D. Cent. Code § 27-08.1-01. This dollar cap applies to the total amount of damages or money claimed in a single case, including any interest or costs that may be part of the demand. The statute defines the jurisdictional limit for the small claims division, meaning any claim exceeding this figure cannot be filed in small claims court and must instead be brought in a higher court. The official source at ndlegis.gov lists the exact limit and any statutory exceptions to the rule.
