Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
Only 24 of Alaska's 165 municipalities levy a property tax, and each sets its own due and delinquency dates, so there is no statewide calendar. Variation between counties here is high — treat the dates above as a starting point only.
Each municipality sets its own penalty (up to 20% of the tax) and interest (up to 15% a year) on delinquent taxes, accruing from the local due date.
Municipalities set their own billing cycle; state law requires the levy rate by June 15 and tax statements by July 1.

$
Effective rate 0.97% = this county's median owner-occupied tax bill ($3,402, ACS 2022 5-year estimate) divided by the typical home value at the time ($350,883, Zillow, 2022-12-31). Exemptions the seller holds — homestead, senior, veteran — usually do not transfer with the deed, so a new purchase can run above this figure. The county assessor sets the assessed value; this is an estimate, not a quote.
