Frequently asked questions for Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
This record is marked State Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel 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 907-269-2004 (Plan Review Bureau); 907-269-5491 (State Fire Marshal).
How long might review take?

How are inspections scheduled?
Create an account in the Alaska State Fire Marshal Community Portal, submit plans and supporting documents, and pay the calculated review fee. The Division contacts applicants regarding corrections; after approval, the approval certificate must be posted as required and occupancy is allowed only after construction follows the approved plans. Local inspections or permits may also be required by an incorporated city, tribe, ADEC, USACE or federal land agency.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
For covered state-jurisdiction work in the unorganized Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska's current code cycle is the 2021 International Building Code, 2021 International Existing Building Code, 2021 International Fire Code, 2021 International Fuel Gas Code and 2021 International Mechanical Code, as adopted and amended under 13 AAC 50; electrical and plumbing requirements follow current Alaska-adopted codes. Residential housing that is three-plex or smaller is exempt from State Fire Marshal plan review. Covered construction, repair, remodel, additions, occupancy changes, fuel-tank work and fire/life-safety systems must otherwise be submitted before work begins. Local incorporated cities, tribal governments, federal land managers and environmental agencies may impose additional requirements or exemptions.
