Local records and offices
Fairbanks North Star Borough provides the local-government contact point for Borough property information. Use Assessing for valuation and assessment records, the Borough’s real-property tax information for tax questions, and the Alaska State Recorder’s Office for recording information. These are separate records and tasks; use the property address and current bill or document when you contact an office.
Fairbanks North Star Borough · assessed value and assessment records
Start with the Borough’s Assessing page or property search for assessed-value and assessment-record questions. An assessment is different from an unpaid-tax balance, a recorded deed, or a court judgment.
Fairbanks North Star Borough · real-property tax information
Use the Borough’s real-property assessment and tax information page for property-tax questions. For a current balance or payment status on a specific parcel, follow the Borough’s instructions and confirm it with the Borough; do not treat assessed value as the amount due.
Alaska · document recording and recording fees
Use the State Recorder’s Office for recording information and its fee schedule. This is a different task from a Borough assessment or property-tax question; a recording-fee page does not determine whether a court judgment affects a particular sale.
Alaska tax and recording facts
Alaska does not charge a state real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. A 2024 law bars new state, borough, and city taxes on real-property transfers but preserves earlier local ordinances. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm whether a preserved local tax applies to this property.
Recording a document is a separate cost question. The Alaska State Recorder’s Office fee schedule lists $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page, with small extra charges in some cases. Have the title or closing professional confirm the exact recording charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Use the court or agency named in the notice or case record for the court matter. Borough assessment and tax pages answer different questions from document recording.
