Alaska Stat. § 18.55. § 18.55.770
What ordinance must include
Operative Text
An ordinance adopted under AS 18.55.760 must provide that the corporation must exercise the powers prescribed by the ordinance. The ordinance must also contain the provisions set out in AS 18.55.780 — 18.55.850.
Alaska Statute AS 18.55 § 18.55.770 establishes minimum content requirements for any local ordinance adopted under AS 18.55.760 that creates a housing corporation. Specifically, such an ordinance must direct the corporation to exercise the powers the ordinance prescribes, and it must incorporate all of the provisions spelled out in AS 18.55.780 through AS 18.55.850. This rule functions as a structural checklist, ensuring that enabling ordinances are complete and internally consistent before they take effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating within a jurisdiction that has adopted a housing ordinance under AS 18.55.760 should be aware that AS 18.55 § 18.55.770 sets the floor for what that ordinance must contain. A compliant local government will have ensured that the ordinance both defines the corporation's powers and incorporates the full range of provisions required by AS 18.55.780–18.55.850. Operators generally review the specific ordinance adopted by their municipality to understand the scope of the corporation's authority and how it may affect local housing programs.

AS 18.55 § 18.55.770 is a structural rule that governs how local governments must draft housing ordinances, which can affect the programs and protections available to renters in a given community. If a tenant believes a local housing corporation is acting outside the authority granted by its enabling ordinance, that concern can be raised with the relevant local housing authority or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Alaska housing law. Understanding whether the local ordinance fully complies with AS 18.55.780–18.55.850 may be relevant when evaluating the legitimacy of a corporation's actions.
