Alaska Tax Facts
- Alaska is the largest of the United States; however, for all its vastness only a small portion of the land mass is subject to a property tax.
- There are approximately 321 communities in Alaska, many of which still remain unincorporated.
- There are 164 incorporated municipalities (local governments), 19 of which are incorporated into boroughs (boroughs are a rough equivalent to counties) and the remainder are incorporated as cities.
- Of the 19 boroughs in Alaska, only 15 levy a property tax.
- Only 9 cities located outside of boroughs levy a property tax; therefore, only 24 municipalities in Alaska (either cities or boroughs) levy a property tax.
- One hundred and seven municipalities (reporting) levy a general sales tax. Sales tax rates range from a low of 1% to a high of 7%.
- The “typical” sales tax rates within Alaska range from 2%-5%.
- Other types of local taxes levied are raw fish taxes, hotel/motel “bed” taxes, severance taxes, liquor and tobacco taxes, gaming (pull tabs) taxes and fuel transfer taxes.
- In 2014, local governments generated approximately $1.66 billion in revenues from property taxes, sales taxes and other taxes. Of that amount, $1.34 billion was from property taxes.
- Oil & Gas properties, such as the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, contribute a little over $426 million in property taxes to local government.

- The average assessed value exempted from taxes for senior citizens and disabled veterans is $137,355 which equated to a tax exemption of $1,855 for 2014.
- In 2014, the total full value for all municipalities was $108.6 billion (including TAPS). For 2014 the statewide population was 736,399, which means that the per-capita full value was $147,519.

Alaska tax sales
The Alaska (AK) statewide sales tax rate is currently 0.0%. Individual municipalities have wide authority to set their own taxation rates, and sales tax can be as high as 7%.Alaska sales tax is monitored on a monthly basis for proposed changes to the state sales tax rate and when tax rate changes will take effect.
Other, local-level tax rates in the state of Alaska are quite complex compared against local-level tax rates in other states. Alaska sales tax may be levied at the city/county/school/transportation and SPD (special purpose district) levels.
Alaska sales tax is one of the most difficult states to monitor and maintain as it has many levels of local and special purpose taxes, it allows municipalities to create their own taxing laws and to collect their own local taxes separate from the state. Maintaining accuracy for this state is demanding and time consuming.
The State of Alaska does not levy a sales tax; there are, however, several municipal governments that do.
