About Property Taxes in Yakutat City and Borough, Alaska
Yakutat's rate below national average
Yakutat's 0.762% effective tax rate remains below the national median of 1.1%, though it ranks slightly above most other Southeast Alaska municipalities. Despite this, the median home value of $185,000 generates just $1,410 annually—nearly 48% less than the national median tax of $2,690.
Yakutat edges above Alaska average
Yakutat's 0.762% effective rate marginally exceeds Alaska's statewide average of 0.772%, placing it near the state median for tax burden. The median tax bill of $1,410 trails Alaska's median of $2,187 by $777, reflecting the community's smaller home values rather than higher rates.
Higher rates than nearby Southeast peers
Yakutat's 0.762% exceeds Sitka (0.472%), Skagway (0.342%), and Wrangell (0.620%), making it the higher-taxed Southeast municipality analyzed here. However, the actual dollar burden remains low thanks to Yakutat's notably smaller median home values compared to coastal neighbors.
What $185,000 home costs annually
A median Yakutat home valued at $185,000 results in approximately $1,410 in annual property taxes at the current 0.762% rate. With mortgage-related assessments, the annual tax obligation rises to $1,643, yet remains affordable compared to national averages.
Appeal if your assessment seems off
Yakutat homeowners should verify their assessments are fair market value by comparing recent comparable sales in the community. If your $185,000 assessment appears inflated, appealing could reduce your $1,410 annual tax bill and free up cash for other priorities.
