One-Time Township Funding

These funds were the result of the dues-supported NDTOA lobbying effort.

Unorganized townships also get these funds, which are paid through their county.

"The amount allocated to unorganized townships under this section must be credited by the county treasurer to a special fund for unorganized township roads."
