This notice is being posted as required by NDCC § 28-20-34. That statute requires that before the twentieth of December of each year, the State Court Administrator must determine the rate of interest on judgments. This rate is determined by using the prime rate as it is reported on the first Monday in December, plus 3 percentage points, and rounded up to the next one-half percentage point. The prime rate on December 2, 2019 was 4.75%. Therefore, the interest rate for judgments entered between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 shall be 8.00%.
