Closing Date Prorations in Alaska

In Alaska, closing date prorations for property taxes are governed by local borough ordinances and Alaska Stat. §§ 29.45, with the seller typically responsible for taxes accrued up to the day of closing. The law does not prescribe a uniform statewide proration method; instead, each borough may adopt its own rules, including setting a specific tax rate or assessment date. The verified figure of 0% applies only where a local ordinance so specifies, meaning no tax liability transfers in that jurisdiction. The official source at the Division of Community and Regional Affairs provides the exact ordinance language and any applicable exceptions. The calculator below can estimate the proration based on your specific closing date and borough.
