How to Search Farmers Loop Deed Records

Farmers Loop properties are indexed under the same Fairbanks Recording District as the city of Fairbanks and surrounding communities.

The FNSB Assessor at fnsb.gov/162/Assessing provides current assessment and ownership data. The Alaska Mapper GIS at mapper.dnr.alaska.gov shows parcel boundaries for Farmers Loop properties. You can also visit the Fairbanks DNR Office in person during business hours. Recording fees follow AS 40.17.030: $20 for the first page and $5 per additional page, with a $50 extra charge for non-standard documents.

Document Requirements for Recording

Documents submitted to the Fairbanks Recording District must follow Alaska's standard formatting rules. Paper must be white, 8.5 x 11 inches. The first page needs a 3-inch top margin reserved for the recording stamp. Font size must be 10 points or larger. A title at the top of the first page must identify the document type — for example, "Warranty Deed" or "Quitclaim Deed."

Deeds must include the full legal names of the grantor and grantee, the complete legal description of the property, the stated consideration amount, and a notarized signature from the grantor. The return mailing address for the recorded original must appear on the first page. Full requirements are at dnr.alaska.gov/ssd/recoff/PreparingDocs. Documents that don't meet these standards are accepted but charged an extra $50 non-standard document fee on top of the per-page fees.

E-recording is available for the Fairbanks Recording District through Simplifile, CSC, and ePN. Title companies and attorneys use e-recording to submit documents without mailing them to the Fairbanks DNR Office. The same fee schedule applies to e-recorded documents.
