What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, AK

In the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, where Fairbanks anchors the largest community, homes carry a median value of $98,500 and generate a median annual property tax bill of $1,109. Against a median household income of $55,741, that bill claims roughly 2 percent of what a household earns in a year. Per-capita income sits at $33,669, so the tax takes a somewhat larger bite when measured per person. The area's effective rate of 1.126% runs well above Alaska's statewide median of 0.689% and also exceeds the national figure of 0.794%, placing it 6th among the state's 28 counties. Even so, the dollar amount owed each year stays below what many homeowners elsewhere pay, a reflection of the low housing values that define much of this sparsely populated interior region.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, AK?
The effective rate is 1.13% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 1.13% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($98,500), the estimated annual bill is about $1,109.
Is Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.69% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
