How Does an Alaska Tax Liability Bond Work? 

A tax liability bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the rental property owner(s) filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Alaska Department of Finance requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Anchorage Municipal Charter Chapter 12.20. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your tax liability bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
