Yellowstone Township, ND Public Records
Yellowstone Township is a township with its own local government in McKenzie County, North Dakota, with an estimated population of 457 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 40.1 square miles of land.
🏢 Yellowstone Township Office
Yellowstone Township's own township government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the township clerk under North Dakota's open records law. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the township; see the offices below.
Yellowstone Township has no entry with a contact address in the 2022 Census of Governments listing, our source for local government offices, so we do not list a contact for its own office. Use the county offices below.
