Project questions

Frequently asked questions for Lake and Peninsula Borough

Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?

Lake and Peninsula Borough Community Development Department is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.

How should I begin an application?

Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 907-246-3421; 800-764-3421 toll-free (Borough and Community Development Coordinator).

How long might review take?

N/A. The Borough does not publish a standard development-permit or building-plan review timeline; projects may require Planning Commission action or separate municipal/state review.

How are inspections scheduled?

The Borough’s reviewed materials do not describe general structural inspections. Contact Community Development Coordinator Danica Wilson at 907-246-3421 to determine which permits and reviewing authorities apply. Building, fire, electrical, plumbing, environmental and floodplain inspections must be scheduled with the applicable municipal or state authority.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

The Borough does not publish a general structural building-code edition or operate a general building inspection program. Its Title 9 development-permit rules regulate nonresidential development, commercial and industrial uses, resource extraction and certain excavation/fill or disturbance near anadromous streams, tidelands or submerged lands. Actual building-code review may be performed by an incorporated city or the Alaska State Fire Marshal for state-reviewed projects. The Borough states that all privately owned projects that are not residential must submit a development permit after all other project permits are obtained; residential projects are therefore exempt from this Borough development-permit requirement. Incorporated cities, tribal/village governments, the State Fire Marshal and other agencies may impose separate permits or exemptions.

Before contacting the permit counter

Have the project facts ready.

A productive call starts with a clear description of the property and proposed work. Keep the site address, parcel or assessor number, project valuation, existing occupancy, approximate square footage, structural scope, contractor information, and desired start date in front of you. Those facts help the Authority Having Jurisdiction route the question to building, planning, fire, environmental health, or another reviewing discipline.
