Dunn County Road Ditch Mowing – Friendly Reminder
The Dunn County Commission would like to remind residents that road ditch mowing season is approaching.
Under North Dakota Century Code Chapter 63-05, Cutting Weeds and Grasses on Highways, it is the responsibility of the adjoining landowner or operator to cut the weeds and grasses within the county road right-of-way adjoining their property, according to the schedule established by the Board of County Commissioners. (North Dakota Legislative Branch)
To help promote roadway safety, improve visibility, and provide consistent maintenance throughout the county, the Dunn County Commission has chosen to have county road ditches mowed by Dunn County Road Department personnel using county equipment and county forces.
County crews will begin mowing roads with mucker ditches first. Beginning August 1, crews will then move to mowing the main county roads throughout Dunn County.
Landowners who wish to hay the county road ditches are welcome to do so. Please have all haying completed by August 3 so it does not interfere with the county's mowing schedule. After August 3, any remaining vegetation may be mowed by county crews.
The Dunn County Commission appreciates everyone's cooperation as we work together to maintain safe roads, improve visibility, and keep our county rights-of-way in good condition. If you have questions regarding ditch mowing or haying, please contact the Dunn County Road Department.
Thank you for helping keep Dunn County roads safe and well maintained.
