TITLE in property law refers to all the rights and privileges to which individuals are entitled.
Title is a concept that is synonymous with the concept of ownership as anyone holding the
title of a property is said to be the owner of the property. One having the title of a property is
the owner excluding the rights of others. When buying a property, the most important legal
document for a buyer is the title deed which confirms the fact of legal ownership of the
property by a person.
Site Plans: Shall show: north arrow, property dimensions, existing and proposed
structures/uses, setbacks, open space, size and number of required and provided parking
spaces, routes of vehicular access, driveway sizes/locations, the location of signs &

septic, water, public sewer, public or private easements for streets and utilities, names of
adjoining streets, and any other information that is necessary for the Zoning Administrator to
evaluate the request. Plans may be conceptual; however, approvals may require compliance
to the plan of development submitted with the application
Supplemental Information: Required only for highly hazardous substances as defined by
NRS 459.3816, bulk fuel stations, chemical manufacturing, landfills, sand and gravel

DEFINITIONS
A DEED is a legal instrument that transfers ownership
rights from the old owner to the new and contains
the names of both the owners. It also contains the
description such as the address of the property, its
boundaries, as well as its size. Without a deed, it is
impossible to transfer the ownership of a property. A
deed has to be signed by both parties in the presence
of a legal officer. There are many different types of
deeds such as quitclaim deed, a warranty deed, a
grant deed, and so on.
An O & E Report shows the record title owner and
encumbrances to a specific tract of land. This report is
not intended to be an attorney’s opinion. Sometimes it is
also referred to as a TITLE MEMORANDUM or REPORT
OF TITLE. Information is limited as to what is shown as
unsatisfied mortgages, judgments and taxes of record.
ABSTRACT OF TITLE is a condensed history of all transactions
shown in the public records affecting a particular piece of land.
An Attorney reviews the abstract to determine ownership and
whether there are any title defects which must be cleared before
a buyer can purchase the property. The purpose of an abstract is
to give the examiner the condition of title to the property as it
appears of record. The statute of North Dakota requires title
evidence.
Justification Letter: A letter explaining the purpose of the land use application, providing a description of the intended uses, the
impact on adjacent properties, the need for any public utilities/public services, actions taken to minimize any detrimental impacts and
an analysis of how the proposal is consistent with the standards of approval listed in the Zoning Ordinance for the various applications.
Traffic Impact Analysis: Required for any Land Use
application proposing to generate over 750 Average
Daily Trips (ADT), or any Division of Land application
proposing to generate 100 ADT or greater.
Construction Plans: Required for all improvements, drawn to a scale of not more than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet. Street profile
plans must show: project title, name, address, stamp and signature of the engineer & surveyor and revisions dates, existing and
proposed elevations alone the center-line of all roads and at all intersections and within 100 feet of the intersection, topography (at 2
foot intervals), curbs, gutters, sidewalks, easements, manholes, landscaping, street lights & signs invert elevations and locations of
sewers, storm water drains, fire hydrants, and all underground utilities. Radii of all curves, lengths of tangents and central angles on all
streets shall be shown. Where steep slopes exist the Public Works Director may require cross-sections of all proposed streets at 100foot stations. Applicants may need to refer to the Standard Details and Specifications.
