What Alaska homeowners pay

  • Median yearly property tax: $3,976 (14th highest of 51); $4,117 for homes with a mortgage and $3,610 for homes without one.
  • Median value of an owner-occupied home: $376,500, so a typical home pays about $331 a month.
  • 182,292 owner-occupied homes in the survey estimate.
  • Other taxes: Alaska has no tax on wage income; sales tax averages 1.82% with local taxes (Alaska sales tax calculator).

These are statewide medians. Your county, city and school district set the rates on your bill, and exemptions (such as a homestead exemption for your main home, or for seniors and veterans) can lower it. Check with your county assessor and the Alaska revenue department for the rules that apply to you.
