State Offers Repossessed Fishing Permit for Sale

The state-owned permit is available for sale on a continuing basis through the division's website. Interested buyers can view details about the permit and submit purchase offers online.

Limited Entry Permits allow commercial fishing in Alaska's regulated fisheries. The state acquires permits through loan defaults and other repossessions, then resells them to qualified buyers.

All permit sales are conducted online. The division updates the website regularly with current sale information.
