- Statewide, Alaska's effective property-tax rate is 1.105% — the state median real-estate taxes ($3,901) divided by the state median home value ($352,900), from the Census ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates. The national figure is about 0.937%. Individual counties vary widely; the table above shows each one.
- Which Alaska county has the highest property taxes?
