Public Notice

How It Works

Public notice of both zoning and platting actions is published in the Borough News section of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Local property owners are also notified as follows:

Zoning Actions: For rezones, conditional use approvals and variances, property owners within 1,000 feet (500 feet within the boundaries of Fairbanks and North Pole) are notified by mail. In addition, the property is posted with a public hearing sign at least 20 days before the Planning Commission public hearing. Both the mailed notice and the sign will include a case file number. Please use this number when contacting the Department (see below) for more information about a case.

Platting Actions: For all subdivision actions except Quick Plats, property owners adjoining the proposed subdivision are notified by mail. At present, a public hearing sign is not posted for platting actions. Preliminary Quick Plats are noticed in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner only.

See How to Participate in Land Use Decisions: A Citizen's Guide for more information on the notification process.
