Alaska did something unusual with the wildfire model code: 13 AAC 50.020 adopts the 2021 IBC and then deletes the references to the residential and wildland-urban interface codes. What applies to your house is therefore the national program and model floor, by explicit state choice rather than silence.
No borough or city construction application is sourced here either, and what we can't tell you yet records both absences without dressing them up.
The plant file runs the widest zone span in the directory — USDA half-zones 1a through 8b — with 172 records documented in the state and 59 carrying an invasive or noxious flag. Living here starts from cold, not from fire.
What applies in Alaska
Alaska does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. 13 AAC 50.020 adopts the 2021 IBC and deletes IBC references to the International Residential Code and the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. Detached one-, two-, and three-family dwellings are excepted from that IBC scope. Confirm with the building official.
State distribution, native range, invasive status, hardiness, and fire evidence answer different questions. None is a planting approval. The list itself is on Grow — this page carries the aggregates.
172 plant records documented in the state.
59 carry an invasive or noxious flag applying here. One fire-evidence source names Alaska in publication scope.
For Alaska Firewise committees, fire districts, and HOA architectural
committees. The frame stays current as the evidence does, so it does not
go stale the way a copied PDF does. Free to use with the attribution line
