County tax lien/deed listings and auction information for investors.

Alaska is a deed state. The state of Alaska has 16 “boroughs,” and 11 geographical census areas. Sometimes the borough is responsible for the collection of taxes and sometimes the municipal tax collector has that responsibility. A special government “real estate service” or “land management” office as it is called in Alaska, sometimes handles the tax sale, or “land sale”. There is information available online for some Alaska municipalities and boroughs. To find information about tax sales online, first go to the borough website. If you don’t find any property tax information there, then check the municipal websites.



The municipality forecloses properties that have been in default. If they are not redeemed during the 1-year redemption period, they are deeded to the municipality and then sold at appraised value. Land sales are conducted by a sealed bid process. Unsold properties are then made available for over the counter bids. Anyone who is 18 years of age or older and does not owe any delinquent taxes may bid on properties. Though properties are sold at appraised value, the municipality will finance your purchase and in some cases tax incentives are given for the development or improvements of the property. 



Parcels are sold on a first come, first served basis and can be purchased through the mail. The process is much like buying real estate at retail. You may have to give a non-refundable earnest money deposit and go through a real estate closing and credit approval. For all that trouble, you will get a warranty deed and thus clear title to the property. Parcels are sold “as-is,” however and no warranty is given as to the quality of the land purchased.



The incentives for investing in tax deeds in Alaska are that it can be done through the mail (though you will still have to have someone check the property), financing is offered for your purchase, and you can get information about tax sales and lists of properties online. These are somewhat out-weighed by the fact that you have to pay appraised value for the property.
