2. No FNSB Grooming or Kennel Permit (zoning compliance only)

   The Fairbanks North Star Borough issues no dog grooming permit, no kennel license, and no dog license — FNSB Code Title 22 (Animals) contains only definitions, animal control management, adoptions, impoundment, dangerous animals, rabies control, unlawful acts, and enforcement, with no licensing chapter. FNSB Animal Control (2408 Davis Road, 907-459-1451) is a division of Emergency Operations providing shelter and enforcement, not licensing. A grooming or boarding business is regulated as a land use under FNSB Title 18 zoning, which requires the borough’s free zoning permit and may require a conditional use permit.
