A. Improvements of the following character placed on the assigned land by the assignee shall be considered personal property which may be removed, sold, bequeathed or inherited at the discretion of the assignee, and subject to applicable law and regulation: houses, garages, barns, sheds, interior fences, crops, household items and personal belongings. If the heir to, or owner of, said personal property is not eligible to receive the assignment, the foregoing listed improvements must be removed within 180 days. Other improvements such as exterior fences, underground water and sewage systems, trees, shrubs and betterments of similar nature attached to the land, even though placed on the property by the assignee, shall be considered part of the real property belonging with the land and shall remain on the assignment unless their removal is authorized by the Tribal Council.

B. If an assignment is relinquished, canceled, or the assignee is deceased and without qualified heirs, the improvements that were the personal property of the assignee must be removed or otherwise disposed of within 180 days after written notice by the Tribal Council, said notice to be posted on the premises in a conspicuous location; otherwise, said improvements become a part of the real property, title in them vests with the land, and they become available for assignment or other disposition along with the land. The Tribal Council shall have authority, upon showing of good cause for a reasonable period, to extend the removal time beyond 180 days in order to prevent undue hardship; and may at its option pay the owner the value of said improvements as determined by the Council.
