Engineering
The County Engineering Department works closely with all three county supervisors to:
- Maintain county roads and signage
- Facilitate the 9-1-1 addressing program countywide
- Maintain a county Geographical Information System (GIS) online
- Administer funding for county projects
- Assist local businesses and residents regarding floodplain management and easement issues
- Coordinate/cooperate with state, reservation, and federal departments on a wide range of roads issues
County Roads Improvement District
For county residents looking for ways to minimize the effects of dust from dirt roads, maintain access to their property in bad weather, or simply improve the appearance of their community, a County Road Improvement District (CRID) may be the answer.
Learn the benefits of and how to form a CRID.

Floodplain Management
For information regarding floodplain maps, please contact our office.
For floodplain requests and flood hazard permits, please contact the Apache County Community Development Planning and Zoning Division.
For emergency flood preparedness information, please refer to the flood hazard information provided on this page and visit our Emergency Management page.
You can access and print current floodplain maps from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. It is helpful to have location coordinates, or you can use the zoom feature to find your location.

Magnesium Chloride Application
Magnesium chloride controls dust and stabilizes aggregate by acting as a binding agent to provide safer roads and driving conditions, fewer potholes, improved durability, and cleaner air.
Before the county sprays roads with magnesium chloride, we inspect the roads for permeability, smoothness, and proper drainage shaping. If these conditions do not exist, then they must be rectified. The recommended application rate of magnesium chloride is 0.5 gallons per square yard, applied over two applications. This usually provides control and stabilization for two to six months depending on weather and condition of the road base.
