Anchorage, AK — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 99513, part of Anchorage, homeowners face an effective property tax rate of 1.26% at the county level. That rate applies to whatever a home is worth, so the actual tax bill scales directly with property values in the area. Because no combined sales tax applies here — 0.00% — everyday purchases don't add to the housing cost burden. How comfortably a household absorbs the property tax depends on earnings relative to home prices; where incomes trail rising values, the annual bill takes a larger share of take-home pay.
