Alaska has no counties. The state is divided into 19 organized boroughs and one Unorganized Borough — the remaining land area that falls outside any borough's jurisdiction and covers roughly half the state's land mass. Each organized borough with an assessment function and each first- and second-class city maintains its own assessor's office; the Alaska State Assessor (within the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development) handles property taxation in areas of the Unorganized Borough where no local government exists. There is no county-equivalent administrative uniformity: some boroughs run full assessment operations, others contract with the state, and coverage and data quality vary accordingly.
Alaska DNR operates the Alaska Statewide Parcels FeatureServer (gis.data.alaska.gov) combining parcel submissions from participating local governments. The local_gov field identifies the submitting jurisdiction, allowing borough- or city-level filtering within the single statewide service. As of 2026 this layer covers the Municipality of Anchorage, Fairbanks North Star Borough, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Kenai Peninsula Borough, and a small number of other jurisdictions — coverage is incomplete and updates follow each jurisdiction's own publication schedule. The Unorganized Borough has minimal parcel data in the statewide layer because much of that land is state or federal. INSIDE Idaho (University of Idaho) and Alaska's own statewide geoportal at gis.data.alaska.gov host supplemental datasets but not a complete cadastral layer.
The AK_Parcels statewide FeatureServer holds records from multiple jurisdictions in a single layer. Querying owner alone without a local_gov filter will return results from whichever boroughs have submitted data, which can be several. The correct pattern is to combine a local_gov LIKE filter with an owner or parcel_id filter: UPPER(local_gov) LIKE '%ANCHORAGE%' AND UPPER(owner) LIKE '%SMITH%'. The alt_owner field captures a second named owner for parcels with co-ownership. The property_type and property_use fields reflect each submitting jurisdiction's coding scheme, not a common statewide standard.
Anchorage is officially the Municipality of Anchorage (FIPS 02020), a unified city-borough government formed in 1975 when Anchorage city merged with the former Greater Anchorage Area Borough. It functions as an organized borough but holds a distinct legal classification. In the AK_Parcels layer, Anchorage parcels appear with local_gov values referencing 'Anchorage' rather than a borough name. Juneau (City and Borough of Juneau) and Sitka (City and Borough of Sitka) are similar unified governments with their own GIS portals separate from the statewide layer.
The Unorganized Borough is not a single governing entity — it is the residual category for all Alaska land outside organized boroughs. Property assessment there falls to the Alaska State Assessor's Office, which publishes the Alaska Taxable database (an annual report) rather than a queryable parcel REST layer. DNR Survey Section acts as the platting authority for the Unorganized Borough. If your project targets rural Alaska parcels outside the major organized boroughs, expect little to no machine-readable parcel data in the statewide FeatureServer.
Municipality of Anchorage (pop. ~290,000; Alaska's largest city). Accessible via the statewide AK_Parcels FeatureServer filtered by local_gov LIKE '%ANCHORAGE%'. Exposes owner, alt_owner, property_type, property_use, land_value, building_value, and total_value. Owner-name queries confirmed working. The municipality also maintains its own GIS portal for Anchorage-specific datasets at muni.org/departments/it/gis/.
Anchorage owner search via statewide layer: ?where=UPPER(local_gov)+LIKE+'%25ANCHORAGE%25'+AND+UPPER(owner)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=parcel_id,owner,alt_owner,property_type,land_value,total_value,local_gov&returnGeometry=false&f=json. Parcel ID lookup for a specific borough: ?where=parcel_id='XXXXXX'+AND+UPPER(local_gov)+LIKE+'%25FAIRBANKS%25'&outFields=*&f=json. Always include the local_gov filter to constrain results to a single jurisdiction.

1 Alaska borough is indexed in the UrbanKit atlas with a verified public REST endpoint: Anchorage. It exposes an owner-name field you can search directly on the public layer.
Anchorage expose an owner-name field on the public REST layer. Anchorage, for example, uses the owner field — a case-insensitive search is ?where=UPPER(owner)%20LIKE%20UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=*&f=json. Open a borough's page here for its full field list and a ready-to-run sample query.
Anchorage publishes parcels at https://services1.arcgis.com/7HDiw78fcUiM2BWn/arcgis/rest/services/AK_Parcels/FeatureServer/0 — a FeatureServer (layer 0). It indexes by Parcel ID, Owner Name, Alternate Owner Name, and Local Government (filter: Anchorage Municipality). Owner-name search: UPPER(owner) LIKE UPPER('%25SMITH%25').
