Incentives for Development in the City of Fairbanks: Property Tax Rebate Program

The City of Fairbanks offers financial incentives to support new development, redevelopment, and major renovation projects within city limits. Eligible commercial and residential projects may qualify for a property tax rebate for up to five years, with the level of rebate determined by the total construction cost. In addition, qualifying residential construction projects may be eligible for a waiver of certain building permit fees.

For more information or to discuss the specifics of your project, please contact the City of Fairbanks Building Department at 907-459-6720 (press “0” to be connected). A meeting can be scheduled to review eligibility and program details.

City of Fairbanks Building Official Christoph Falke will provide an informational presentation on these development incentives at the Interior Alaska Building Association’s Lunch & Learn event on November 12. To register or learn more, please visit: Lunch & Learn | IABA
