Land Nominations Always Accepted

The Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Land Management is inviting all Borough residents to give their input regarding future planning and development of Borough owned land. A Land Nomination is a method the Borough has created to organize and receive recommendations for potential uses such as, development and public sale, retention, public parks, schools, or similar uses. The Land Nominations and Land Sale programs’ goals are to sell a quantity of land that is compatible with market demands and fosters the growth of our community. In order to ensure this program is satisfying the public’s needs, we welcome your participation.

A brochure is published annually that contains maps and pertinent information to identify Borough owned land available for nomination and includes a nomination form. Meeting the needs of the public is a priority of the Program, therefore it is very important that you, the nominator, fully understand and clearly state the actions you propose for the Borough.

You may notice land throughout the Borough that appears vacant but is not listed in the report. There are many possible explanations for this, some of the primary reasons vacant land exists within the Borough is because it has been set aside for public use, such as schools, parks, emergency services, flood control, or it may already be in the planning process soon to be available at auction or for sale.

The 2011 Land Nomination Brochure and more detailed information can be found at the Land Management office at the Borough Administrative Center, 809 Pioneer Road, Fairbanks, Alaska, or by clicking on the blue link above called 'brochure. Please feel free to email us as well.
