When Are Property Taxes Due in Alaska?

Common patterns: the Municipality of Anchorage bills are due June 30 (or in two halves, June 30 and August 31); the Fairbanks North Star Borough uses two installments due the first business day of September and of November; the Matanuska-Susitna Borough bills July 1 with halves due in August and February. Homeowners should confirm dates with their local borough or city treasurer.
