Alaska State law requires that home rule, first and second class boroughs, unified municipalities, and first class and home rule cities outside of boroughs provide planning, platting and land use regulation. All other classes of municipalities (second class cities) may, but are not required to, exercise these powers. For communities within the Unorganized Borough, the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Mining, Land, and Water Management, acts as the platting authority.
