Alaska Laws

Alaska has a ridiculous system for finding or linking to state statutes.  Try and follow this:

Go to the Alaska Legislature site:  http://www.legis.state.ak.us/basis/statutes.asp

For condominium law, copy the following and paste it in the search block:  AS 34.07 HORIZONTAL PROPERTY REGIMES ACT

If, for any reason, this doesn’t work, try following the statutes through to the main area:  Title 34 – Property
