Alaska Subdivision Bond

Alaska boroughs and cities set subdivision improvement guarantees in their own platting codes. In Anchorage, the subdivision agreement must guarantee the required public improvements, and a performance bond is one accepted method, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements plus an overrun allowance.

Alaska Maintenance Bond

Alaska's public works bond law, AS 36.25.010, requires performance and payment bonds on public building and public works contracts over $100,000, but does not require a maintenance or warranty bond. When one is used, the contract or local agency sets it.

Permit bondRequired by state law

Alaska Right-of-Way Bond

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities may require a bond for utility permits in its right-of-way, under 17 AAC 15.051. The department sets the amount and duration.

Alaska Permit Bond

Alaska has no statewide permit bond; cities and boroughs set their own. For example, the Municipality of Anchorage uses a $10,000 Construction Performance Bond for work in its rights of way, covering damage to public property and compliance with city ordinances.

Contract bondSet by the contract

Alaska Supply Bond

Alaska's public bond law, AS 36.25.010, covers performance and payment bonds on contracts for building, altering or repairing public buildings and public works. It does not set a supply bond; when one is used, the buyer's bid or contract documents set it.

Alaska Stop Payment Notice Release Bond

Alaska lets an unpaid claimant serve a stop-lending notice on the construction lender under AS 34.35.062, but the statute does not provide a bond to release it. The notice expires on the 91st day after the lender receives it unless the claimant has sued, and the claimant can revoke it in writing.
