Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Williston has the most hot days of all 13 North Dakota places listed here: about 21 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Williston Sloulin Intl. Airport, ND station). None of the 13 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year. For most of the state, heat is a summer-month issue rather than a constant one.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Valley City has the most freezing nights of all 13 North Dakota places listed here: about 192 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Valley City 3 NNW, ND station). All 13 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Fargo and West Fargo share the most snowfall of the 5 listed North Dakota places with this figure: about 51 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Fargo Hector Intl. Airport, ND station). All 5 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Wahpeton has the most precipitation of all 13 North Dakota places listed here: about 25 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Rothsay, MN station). None of the listed places reaches the wet band (46 inches or 12 days with an inch), so rain is a day-of-event issue rather than a seasonal one.

New and Older Housing

Williston has the highest share of recent housing of the 12 listed North Dakota places with this figure: 42.8% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 9 of 12 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. Valley City has the oldest housing of all 13 North Dakota places listed here: a median year built of 1962 (ACS 2020–2024). 1 of 13 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Cold (10), Very cold (3). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 13 North Dakota places listed here, 13 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the town or township it sits in, or the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
