SB 77 Alaska Senate · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to municipal property tax; and providing for an effective date.

This bill allows Alaskan municipalities to create tax exemptions or payment deferrals for specific economic development properties, provided they follow strict rules about public notice and voter approval. It also authorizes local governments to impose a special tax on properties they officially designate as blighted, but only if the owner submits and completes an approved plan to redevelop or fix the site. The legislation includes safeguards such as prohibiting the tax on primary residences and requiring that any funds collected from blighted properties be set aside specifically for community redevelopment projects.
