Building a house, addition or shed? NSB Planning permits — Form 800 (Utqiaġvik) / Form 700 (villages), OpenGov portal
Before you build, add on, move a structure, or put in a large shed on the North Slope you need a Land Management Regulation permit from NSB Planning & Community Services. Since March 2026 all permit applications are filed online through the North Slope AK OpenGov portal (northslopeak.portal.opengov.com): Form 800 for a Utqiaġvik residential project, Form 700 for a village-district residential project, Form 900 for subdivisions, Form 300 for rezoning; Form 500 cultural-resource clearance may also be needed. Fees are in the 2026 Permit Fees & Penalty Schedule. Questions: 907-852-0320, NSBPermitSubmittal@north-slope.org. (You also need clear land title — see the Housing Guide.)
