How to Search Alaska Recorded Documents

Alaska deeds, mortgages, liens, and other land records are recorded at the county recorder's office (or town clerk in New England states). Each county maintains its own records — some online, others in-person only.

  • County recorders maintain deeds, mortgages, releases, and lien records.
  • UCC filings: business liens through the Alaska Secretary of State.
  • Property transfer tax records: state Department of Revenue or Taxation.
  • Federal liens: IRS tax liens are filed at the county.
  • For specific deeds and mortgages, contact the county recorder where the property is located.
