Flood Zones
West Fargo participates in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program and enforces a Flood Proofing Code (originally prepared by Moore Engineering, 1974, revised 1975) that governs all buildings within the Floodway and Special Flood Hazard Area. Any development in a FEMA-mapped SFHA along the Sheyenne River or Sheyenne Diversion corridor requires a development permit before a building permit is issued. The Metro Flood Diversion Authority's FM Area Diversion project (under construction) is reshaping long-term flood risk for West Fargo and the Fargo-Moorhead region.
