How to Look Up Badger Property Records

The FNSB property search system is the main online tool for Badger parcels. The search guide at fnsb.gov/167/Search-Page-Basics walks you through the process. You start by entering a single word or street number in the search field. The system returns all records that match that term. A second search term can be added to filter those results further.

Name searches use the corporate name on file, which is the name the property taxes are billed to. Address searches work well with just a street number if you are not sure of the full address. You get a list of all parcels with that number across the borough. Clicking into a result shows the full property record with ownership, assessed value, property class, and description. Exemption information is shown on the record if any exemptions apply.

The FNSB's Geographic Information Network (GINA) provides a mapping view of the same data. You can search by address or owner name and see the parcel on an interactive map with aerial imagery and parcel boundaries. GINA is useful for visually confirming lot lines, checking adjacent properties, and understanding the layout of a subdivision. The mapping system and text search draw from the same database, so they are consistent with each other.

Note: Parcel boundaries shown in GINA are for informational use and should not be relied on for legal or survey purposes.

Exemptions and Assessment Appeals

Badger property owners may be eligible for borough exemption programs administered by the FNSB Assessing Department. Programs include the senior citizen exemption, the disabled veteran exemption, and the residential owner-occupant exemption. Each has different eligibility criteria and requires a separate application with documentation. Applications are submitted to the assessing department at 907 Terminal Street in Fairbanks.

If you disagree with your property's assessed value, you can file an appeal with the FNSB Board of Equalization. The annual assessment notice includes information on the appeal deadline.
