Juneau Property Records Database

Juneau property records are managed by the City and Borough of Juneau Assessor's Office and the CBJ Lands and Resources Office. As a unified city and borough, Juneau handles both assessment and recording functions at the local level. You can search Juneau property records free online at the CBJ property search portal, where records are indexed by parcel number, owner name, address, or subdivision. Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages are maintained by the Lands and Resources Office at 155 South Seward Street. This page explains how to find the records you need, what the offices cover, and what exemptions are available to property owners.

CBJ Assessor's Office

The City and Borough of Juneau Assessor's Office evaluates more than 13,000 properties each year. The office sets assessed values for all real property within the CBJ and administers exemption programs for qualifying owners. It is located at One Sealaska Plaza, Suite 400, Juneau, AK 99801.

The Assessor's Office runs a free online property search tool through the CBJ website. You can search by parcel number, owner name, street address, or subdivision. Search results show the assessed value broken down by land and improvements, along with total assessed value and taxable value. Property characteristics are included, such as building size, lot area, year built, and construction type. Sales history with transaction dates and prices is also available. The system lets you compare neighboring properties and download assessment summaries.

Recorded Documents and CBJ Lands Office

Real property documents for Juneau, including deeds, mortgages, liens, easements, and subdivision plats, are maintained by the CBJ Lands and Resources Office at 155 South Seward Street, Juneau, AK 99801. Phone: (907) 586-5252. This office handles the recording function within the CBJ, which differs from most Alaska areas that use the state DNR recording system exclusively.

You can also search recorded documents through the Alaska Land Records portal maintained by the Alaska DNR. The Juneau Recording District is served by the Anchorage Recording District office at 550 West 7th Ave., Suite 108, Anchorage, AK 99501-3564, phone (907) 269-8876. Documents recorded through the state system are indexed and can be searched online. Recording requirements under Alaska Statute AS 40.17 apply to all instruments submitted for recording, covering paper requirements, signatures, acknowledgments, and return-to information.

Tidelands and submerged lands within the CBJ are managed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. If you are researching waterfront or coastal property, you may need to check with DNR as well as the CBJ Lands Office.

GIS Maps and Assessment Forms

Juneau maintains a GIS mapping system with interactive parcel maps. The GIS viewer shows property boundaries, zoning designations, flood zones, and other geographic data. You can use it to locate parcels visually, check neighboring lots, and view land use classifications. It is accessible through the CBJ website at juneau.org/gis.

The CBJ Assessor's Office provides several official forms for property owners at juneau.org/finance/assessor-forms. Key forms include the Petition for Review, which you file to appeal an assessed value to the Board of Equalization. The petition must be filed within 30 days of the assessment notice mailing date. Other forms cover exemption applications and business personal property returns.

Property Tax Exemptions in Juneau

The CBJ Assessor's Office administers several exemption programs for Juneau property owners. Each one requires a separate application and supporting documentation. Deadlines apply, and missed deadlines typically mean waiting until the following year.

The Senior Citizen Exemption applies to homeowners age 65 or older. To qualify, you need to show proof of age and Alaska residency, and your income must fall below the program threshold. The exemption applies to your primary residence and must be renewed annually. The Disabled Veteran Exemption covers veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 50% or more. You file with documentation from the Veterans Administration. Surviving spouses may continue to receive this exemption if they meet the eligibility rules. The Residential Exemption reduces the taxable assessed value for owner-occupied primary residences and must be applied for with proof of residency. All application forms are available at juneau.org/finance/assessor-forms.

The median property tax in Juneau is $2,854. That figure reflects assessed values on over 13,000 properties in the city and borough.

Note: Businesses operating in Juneau must file a Business Personal Property Return listing taxable equipment, furniture, fixtures, and inventory. The form includes depreciation schedules.
