Real Estate Services (RES) also forecloses and sells private sector properties the the MOA must take a Tax Deed for delinquencies on taxes and/or assessments. Following Assembly approval, sales are conducted annually of foreclosed properties via sealed bid sale.

Information and Events          

The 2011 Notice of Foreclosure

Every March the Municipality publishes, as required by Alaska State Statutes, the annual Notice of Foreclosure list.  The attached document (see link at end of this paragraph) lists properties that are delinquent in paying either property taxes or special assessments for years leading up to and including 2010.  The Alaska Star publishes this document and it is also accessible and downloadable by clicking here: 2011 Foreclosures List

NOTE: Properties IN FORECLOSURE are NOT currently for sale by the MOA.  For this year's sale of properties that are foreclosed, please see "Upcoming Sale" paragraph, below.
