New addresses will b​e assigned to all new buildings through the building or land-use permit. Simply apply for the permit and your address will be created and entered into your permit file.

New addresses are assigned to all occupiable structures within the Anchorage Bowl, Chugiak/Eagle River and in most Turnagain Arm communities. When a property owner or developer applies for a building permit (or a land-use permit), Addressing reviews the site plan to determine access, and assigns an address (or addresses, as necessary). For corner lots or large tracts of land, staff needs to see the site plan to determine which street provides access or where the building and driveway entrance will be located in order to assign a good address.

​You will need to provide the building location and driveway entrance information, by fax, email, or in-person visit. A site plan or a simple drawing of the site is helpful. There is a $90​.00 fee for new address assignments. 

Addressing will notify the US Postal Service, emergency response, all utilities, and other municipal agencies of the new address assignment for their records.
