Alaska Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerAlaska tax sale timing: No statewide schedule — each borough / city sets its own sale schedule after foreclosure and deed to the municipality (AS 29.45.460) What is sold: Tax deeds. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified Alaska sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from Alaska law.

Rate / penalty: n/a

Redemption: At least 1 year after the foreclosure judgment: property transferred to the municipality is held for at least one year, during which a party in interest may redeem by paying the lien amount plus penalties, interest and costs (AS 29.45.400). Unredeemed property is then deeded to the borough or city (AS 29.45.450); No redemption runs against a third-party buyer after a municipal sale — but after the deed to the municipality, the former record owner has a statutory statewide right to repurchase under AS 29.45.470: within 10 years after foreclosure and before the municipality sells or contracts to sell the property, the record owner (or assigns) may repurchase for the judgment amount plus interest up to 15%/yr, taxes as if privately owned, and foreclosure/sale/management costs. The right ceases once the municipality adopts an ordinance retaining the property for a public purpose (AS 29.45.470(b)), unless the municipality extends it (e.g. Kenai Peninsula Borough Ordinance 2026-05 extended repurchase for its 2026 foreclosure batch to Apr. 24, 2026).
