In this paper, we study the boundary H\"older regularity for solutions to the fractional Dirichlet problem in unbounded domains with boundary \begin{ equation*} \begin{ cases} (-\Delta)^s u(x) = g(x),&\text{ in } \Omega, u(x)=0, &\text{ in } \Omega^c. \end{ cases} \end{ equation*} Existing results rely on the global $L^{ \infty}$ norm of solutions to control their boundary $C^s$ norm, which is insufficient for blow-up and rescaling analysis to obtain a priori estimates in unbounded domains. To overcome this limitation, we first derive a local version of boundary H\"older regularity for nonnegative solutions in which we replace the global $L^{ \infty}$ norm by only a local $L^{ \infty}$ norm. Then as an important application, we establish a priori estimates for nonnegative solutions to a family of nonlinear equations on unbounded domains with boundaries.
