If labor is done or materials furnished under a single contract for several buildings, structures, or improvements, the person furnishing the same is entitled to a lien therefor, subject to section 35-27-02, as follows:
1. If the improvements are upon a single farm, tract, or lot, upon all such buildings,
structures, and improvements and the farm, tract, or lot upon which the same are
situated.
2. If the improvements are upon separate farms, tracts, or lots, upon all the buildings,
structures, and improvements and the farms, tracts, or lots upon which the same are
situated, but upon the foreclosure of the lien the court, in the cases provided for in this
subsection, may apportion the amount of the claim among the several farms, tracts, or
lots in proportion to the enhanced value of the same produced by means of the labor
or materials, if such apportionment is necessary to protect the rights of third persons.
