North Dakota rainfall & drainage drivers
- Annual rainfall: 18 inches/yr — drives K-style sizing and downspout count
- Dominant residential gutter profile: 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum — dominant low-rainfall retrofit profile
- Ground snow load: 35 psf — drives gutter bracket spacing and ice-shield requirements
- Ice-dam risk tier: High — sustained sub-freezing winter requires ice-and-water shield + heat-cable retrofit budget
- Hurricane wind tier: None
- Tree-canopy density: Low — sparse canopy, standard open gutters adequate
North Dakota licensing & permits
- License status: Statewide license required
- License board: North Dakota Secretary of State — Contractor License (over $4,000) (official site)
- Permit: state or municipal building permit typical for gutter installation on new construction
