Alaska Property Owners Subject To Late Filing Penalty
Since January 1, 1954
aporoximately 1900' property
owners in Alaska JidVe filed
their statement of ownership
under the Alaska Registration
Act of 1952. The expiration of
the filing period was Decem
ber 31, 1953 and filings made
after that date for property
owned in 1955 are subject to a
late filing penalty of $5.00.
The Territorial Department
of Lands has sent penalty no
tices to all owners on record of
late filing and the Land Com
missioner estimate s that
aporoximately 50% of the
somber of penalties will be
paid by June 30, 1954. The
penalties that are not paid by
that date will constitue a lien
against the land which will be
abject to foreclosure as pro
vided for in the law. The first
step in the foreclosure action
will be the compilation of the
list of owners and a descrip
tion of their property on which
the lien has attached. This
will be sent to the Clerk of the
Courts in each division as
soon as it can be prepared
after July 1st of this year for
appropriate action.
The Attorney General and
the Land Commissioner urge
those who have not paid the
penalties for late filing to com
ply with the special notices
sent them prior to July 1st.
After that date it is quite pro
bable that they will face a
more complex procedure if
they desire to protect their
ownership.

be'filed by the new owner for
each transfer or purchase of
property made during the cur
rent year. There is no penalty
i for filing this statment if it is
made on or before Decmber31,
11954. It is important to show j
‘ on the filing statement that it j
is for a 1954 transaction. En- E
trymen who receive U. S. Pat-J
ents to their claims in 1954
should file an ownership state
ment. All filing should be
| made at the Recorder’s office
of the precinct where the land
i is located.
j Due to lack of funds for ad- j
j ministering the Registration (
j Law, the owership statements i
I that have been filed can not!
be indexed and a record com
piled of all report areas at this
time. The owner of private
land for which owenship state
ment has not been filed is,
however, subject to the penal
ty and lien for failure to file;
or for late fling. Late filing j
constitute a case record of the,
owner who is subject to the
late filing penalty but before
compiling the entire filing
record, it will be imbossible to1
determine the description of j
property for which the owner!
has not filed as required by S
l the act. All property for which
' filing has not been made or j
for which the owner has fail- ■>
ed to pay the late filing pen-1
alty is subject to the lien and
foreclosure. This constitutes a
cloud against the title. Title
insurance and abstract com
panies generally require this
cloud to be removed before
they will issue title insurance'
or compile a complete ab
stract.
