Access Fairbanks Phone Directory

The Fairbanks phone directory covers city, borough, court, and state office contacts for Alaska's second-largest metro area. Fairbanks sits in the heart of interior Alaska and serves as the hub for the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The city has its own government with a mayor and city council, separate from the borough administration. That means two layers of contacts for residents to sort through. This page pulls the key numbers together so you can find the right office fast, whether you need the city clerk, the courthouse, the police department, or a state agency in the Fairbanks area.

Nearby Cities Phone Contacts

Fairbanks is surrounded by several communities in the borough. College sits adjacent to the city and is home to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Badger is east of Fairbanks along the highway. Farmers Loop is northwest of the city. North Lakes is another nearby community. All share the same borough services and courthouse, but each has different coverage for fire, emergency response, and law enforcement.

The key difference between Fairbanks city and the surrounding communities is that Fairbanks has its own city government with a mayor, council, clerk, and police department. The other communities rely entirely on the borough and state troopers for their services. If you live outside city limits, the borough at (907) 459-1401 is your main point of contact.

Note: During winter, extreme cold can affect phone line quality and office hours in the Fairbanks area. Some offices adjust their schedules during the coldest months.
