How to look up property records in Alaska
Alaska property records are kept locally, by each borough. The borough assessor keeps ownership and value for taxes, and the borough clerk or recorder keeps deeds and plats.
CLILU maps 368,652 parcels in 22 Alaska jurisdictions, 92% with the owner of record, refreshed weekly. Browse Alaska by county or by city and ZIP code.

Common questions
Are property records public in Alaska?
Yes. The owner of record, assessed value and recorded deeds are public in Alaska. Some protected people, such as judges and law enforcement officers, may ask for their home address to be shielded.
How do I find who owns a property in Alaska?
Find the parcel on a parcel map such as CLILU (covering 22 Alaska boroughs and counties), or search the borough assessor's website by address or owner. Confirm with the deed at the borough recorder or clerk.
Where are deeds recorded in Alaska?
Deeds are recorded by the borough clerk or recorder where the property is located. Many offices offer online index searches; copies may carry a small fee.
