Beginning August 1, 2026, North Dakota counties and townships can shorten or lengthen required distances between animal feeding operations and nearby homes or designated residential, recreational, or commercial land. Changes must use the agriculture commissioner's odor tool, with an odor-annoyance-free percentage no higher than 94%. Applicants can ask local boards to confirm compliance with zoning rules filed with the state environmental agency before the petition arrives. Petitions must describe the operation's nature, scope, and location, with a map showing road access, structures, and distances to the nearest section line. Without a valid board objection within 60 days of a complete application, the operation is treated as compliant. After approval or no valid objection, local governments cannot add zoning rules about the operation's nature, scope, or location if applicants meet three requirements: promptly seek a state environmental permit, obtain a final permit, and start construction within three years after permit issuance and the end of permit appeals. Procedural deadlines keep running during appeals of local actions or decisions.
