Per changes to the North Dakota century code made in legislation in 2025 we are notifying of the intent to raise fees for hazardous chemical storage. North Dakota century code 37-17.1-7.1 2 identifies the new system for changing fees. Per that change the Director of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is providing notice of the following changes.
The ceiling has been raised in the latest version of the law to nine hundred fifty dollars effective January 1, 2026.
Per chemical fee to be raised twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars per chemical. Fees would be in effect January 1, 2027.
This will be the first fee increase since 1991. The fees are divided per century code between the local and state jurisdictions to help them with preparedness and response. Fees may only be used for hazardous chemical related items, training, and response.
