The Board of Equalization of the Fairbanks North Star Borough on May 16, 2025, unanimously certified the board’s 2025 actions to the borough assessor after a motion by Member Shuster and a second from Ms. Ferguson.

The board voted without recorded opposition after the chair called for a motion to certify "the board's actions for the 2025 regular board of equalization season to the borough assessors." Member Shuster moved to certify and the motion was seconded; the chair announced the motion passed with no opposition.

At the end of the meeting the chair provided a brief docket update: "We did 39 cases for 2025. We did 57 cases in 2024. We did 111 cases in 2023. We did 109 cases in 2022. And in 2021, we did 51 cases. And finally, in 2020, we did 34." The chair noted the 2025 caseload had returned to 2020 levels and adjourned the meeting at 2:32 p.m.

Nut graf: The certification is a procedural step that forwards the board’s recorded decisions to the assessor for implementation; the meeting also included the board’s year‑over‑year case totals, which the chair highlighted as a decline in 2025.
