On May 20,
1998 AS 40.15 was amended and Article 4, “Platting
in Areas Outside Certain Municipalities” was added
, which took affect on August 18, 1998. This established
the Department of Natural Resources as the platting authority
for the Unorganized Borough. Any subdivision, as defined
in AS 40.15.900, must
be platted and approved by a platting authority in order
to be recorded.
Local platting authority is granted to organized boroughs
and incorporated cities and municipalities. If your property
lies within a incorporated city or borough, you should
contact the appropriate office to determine whether or
not they are exercising their platting authority. If you
are unsure how to contact the local government, the Division
of Community Advocacy maintains an online Community
Database that we have found to be helpful.
