North Dakota Radon Real Estate Requirements
Does the state of North Dakota require radon testing for all real estate transactions? No
However both the state of North Dakota and the EPA recommend that a home or residence should be tested before a real estate transaction is carried out. Even though North Dakota does not require radon testing, we certainly recommend you have a test performed before you purchase a home. If you decide to perform a test after and find elevated levels, there is no reason to panic. North Dakota radon mitigation is not expensive compared to the dangers and a system can be implemented in a relatively short period of time.

Disclaimer: It is strongly recommended that all households, schools and office spaces test radon levels individually. The EPA Radon Zone data is not an indicator of individual test results, but a guideline for strategic planning. Toxic radon levels can be found in all counties, regardless of their zone rating.
