Getting the Unorganized Borough list
The Unorganized Borough has no borough government and levies no property tax; only a few cities in it (e.g. Bethel, Nome, Valdez, Cordova, Dillingham) tax real property. Ask that city's finance or clerk's office about tax foreclosure excess proceeds. Excess proceeds from a borough or city tax foreclosure sale belong to the former record owner, who must file a written claim with the municipality within 6 months of the sale (AS 29.45.480).
