What to check in North Dakota
North Dakota updates the State Building Code but does not enforce it. Each city, county, or township chooses whether to adopt it, so some rural areas have no building code enforcement, though contractors still need a state license for jobs over $4,000.
State code enforced only where locally adopted. An address inside an incorporated city or another local jurisdiction may be served by a separate building department.
