Alaska Property Tax Appeal Guide
Deadline varies by county — check your county's appraisal district.
| Deadline | Within 30 days after the assessor mails the assessment notice, filed in writing with the local Board of Equalization. Alaska has no statewide property tax; the deadline is set by each borough or municipality from its own notice-mailing date (e.g., the Municipality of Anchorage mails notices by mid-January and sets a deadline ~30 days later — Feb 11 for 2026). The exact calendar date varies by jurisdiction. — AS 29.45.190(a) |

Before You File, Know This
In Alaska, the BOE can adjust your value in either direction once you appeal — it can be lowered, left the same, or raised. File only when the comparable-sales evidence clearly supports a lower value. This check is designed to flag those cases.
In your state, the appeal board can adjust your value in either direction, including upward. You decide whether to file. HomeTaxAppeal provides comparable-sales evidence and estimates to inform that decision; it does not control the board's determination and is not responsible for an outcome that raises your value.
How to Appeal in Alaska
File your appeal with your county's BOE by the deadline above. Contact your local county assessor's office for the specific portal or form required in your county.
If your appeal is denied, escalation options include: Informal review with the borough or municipal assessor → Borough or municipal Board of Equalization (BOE) hearing → Superior court (appeal on the record within 30 days of the BOE decision) → Alaska Supreme Court.
