How North Dakota Counties and 5-Digit FIPS Codes Work
In U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line geography, North Dakota (ND) is assigned the 2-digit state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code 38 and covers 68,994 square miles of land area across 53 counties in the Central Time (CT); southwestern parts are in Mountain Time (MT) zone (with Bismarck as the state capital). Every county in the directory above carries a unique 5-digit GEOID formed by combining state prefix 38 with a 3-digit county code (ranging alphabetically from Adams County at 38001 to Williams County at 38105).
Because U.S. Postal Service 5-digit ZIP Codes follow mail carrier delivery routes rather than local government borders, many postal addresses in North Dakota carry a neighboring city’s mailing name or sit inside a multi-county ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). Property tax assessments, deed recording, circuit and county court venue, voter registration precincts, sheriff jurisdiction, and county sales tax rates in North Dakota are determined by the legal county boundary shown on the map above rather than the postal city name on an envelope.
Land area figures in square miles and internal centroid coordinates (INTPTLAT, INTPTLON) come directly from the U.S. Census Bureau’s current TIGERweb State_County benchmark, while 53 administrative seats and 51 verified official government websites are cross-referenced from Wikidata (CC0).
