Cass County, ND Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

landowners are not authorized to push snow into the right of way and ditches of County highways which include the roadway in-slope, ditch bottom, and back-slope of the roadway. This practice can exaggerate drifting problems experienced on highways and can create obstructions for motorists. If a landowner is notified of an unauthorized snow pile, they are responsible for removing the obstruction. The County will only notify the landowner once during the winter season. Costs incurred to remove any future obstructing snow piles will be levied against the landowner.

Harvesting Hay in the Right of Way: Every person harvesting hay on the County right of way, who stores the harvested hay on the right of way for later removal, shall store the harvested hay at the outer edge of the rights of way. The County Engineer may remove any hay that is not stored safely as prescribed above. All hay stored on the right of way must be removed by November first of each year.

Unauthorized Signs: N.D.C.C. 24-01-12 (regulation of advertising signs on highways)

outlines that private signs are not authorized in the right of way. It also states that signs

or billboards on private property cannot be placed within one thousand feet of any highway

grade crossing in such a manner as to obstruct or interfere with a free and clear view of

such crossing from any highway or railroad intersecting threat. The Cass County
