A Alaska sale, worked out

The calculator opens on $375,000, about the median value of an owner-occupied home in Alaska ($376,500, 2024 Census estimate), with a $190,000 mortgage payoff as an example. Commissions are whatever the seller agrees, so they’re left out here.

Before commissions and the payoff, the seller’s costs come to about $5,486, or 1.46% of the price, for a closing on December 5, 2026. Alaska is one of the states with no state transfer tax.

Selling in Alaska: what to know

No state transfer tax

Alaska has no state or local real estate transfer tax. The only government charge to record a deed is a flat fee at the state Recorder’s Office: $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page.

Title insurance

By common Alaska custom the seller pays for the owner’s title policy and the buyer pays for the lender’s policy. It is negotiable, so confirm with your title company and the contract.

Who runs the closing

Alaska doesn’t require an attorney at closing. Title and escrow companies handle closings.

Property taxes

Alaska has no statewide property tax; boroughs and cities levy their own. Anchorage bills the current calendar year in two halves, due June 30 and August 31, while other boroughs set their own dates, so the proration depends on what has been paid by closing day.
