The county government primarily handles zoning and building permits for unincorporated areas, while incorporated cities like Fargo and West Fargo maintain their own independent building and planning departments. Development in unincorporated areas may be subject to additional review for floodplains managed by the Red River Joint Water Resource District.
Development within the Red River floodplain is subject to strict elevation and setback requirements enforced by both the county and the Red River Joint Water Resource District.
