How Fairbanks North Star Borough property taxes work
The county assessor values every parcel, exemptions are subtracted, and the county, municipal and school district rates are applied to what is left. Because the rate is set locally, two homes of identical value a few miles apart can carry very different bills.
Our effective rate of 1.25% is calculated by dividing the Census Bureau's median real estate tax paid in Fairbanks North Star Borough by the median owner-occupied home value in the same survey, so it reflects what people actually pay rather than a headline millage rate.
