The City will not perform legal surveys.  Front pins are usually 2' behind the sidewalk but can vary.  You can try to locate the property pins (rebar located below the ground) with a metal detector.  A legal boundary survey can be performed by a Registered Land Surveyor in the State of North Dakota to obtain locations.

Legally, the City of West Fargo has no jurisdiction in rear yard drainage issues.  Only certain catch basins within City easements can be addressed.  If there is a problem at a catch basin call the Public Works Department at (701) 433-5410.  For other drainage issues, such as excess fill or other blockages, the first course of action is to contact your neighbors.  The Engineering Department can help mediate but cannot make enforceable decisions.  The Engineering Department can only give recommendations to help rectify or improve the situation and will provide survey services on a limited basis (usually along the rear property line) to help establish those recommendations.  Drainage issues may be addressed to wfdrainage@mooreengineering.com.

The City of West Fargo employees Moore Engineering, Inc to provide engineering services for the City.  They are located at 925 10th Avenue East, just south of the West Fargo High School.  Mark Housh is our building inspector, Kevin Bucholz is the City Engineer and Dustin Scott is the Assistant City Engineer.  Their hours are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.  They can be contacted at (701) 282-4692 or faxed at (701) 282-4530.
