Denali County tax sale list and auction calendar
For Denali County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid. If the parcels on this list are vacant land rather than houses, what buying land at a tax sale hands you is the place to start.
The Denali Borough levies no property tax, so it holds no tax-foreclosure sale and publishes no tax-foreclosure sale list. Its taxes are on overnight accommodations, alcohol and marijuana sales, and resource severance.
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
unsold properties
State law creates no over-the-counter list. Some Alaska municipalities offer tax-foreclosed parcels that did not sell at a competitive sale over the counter afterward, under their own land disposal ordinance. Whether this borough or city has any such inventory must be confirmed with its land management office.

Alaska rules
- Redemption
- Redemption runs against the municipality, before any investor is involved. The judgment transfers the parcel to the municipality, which must hold it for at least one year; during that time anyone with an interest may redeem. At least 30 days before the period ends the clerk publishes an expiration notice once a week for four weeks (or posts it where there is no newspaper) and mails it by certified mail to the record owner and, where the assessed value exceeds $10,000, to mortgage and lien holders; the right of redemption expires 30 days after the first publication. The former owner keeps possession during redemption unless waste is committed. After the clerk's deed, the record owner at foreclosure (or assigns) may still repurchase within 10 years, but only until the municipality sells or contracts to sell the parcel, and the right ends if an ordinance retains it for a public purpose. A buyer at the municipality's sale therefore takes with no redemption or repurchase right outstanding.
- Deed deposit
- Not set by statute. Deposit, bidder registration and payment form are fixed in each sale's terms. Example: the Matanuska-Susitna Borough requires in-person registration before bidding and accepts only money order, cashier's check or cash, with no financing.
- Surplus proceeds
- Sale proceeds, less collection costs, are divided between the borough and the city in proportion to their taxes at foreclosure. If the property was held by the municipality for less than 10 years after the close of the redemption period and was never designated for a public purpose, the former record owner is entitled to the proceeds above unpaid taxes, the taxes that would have accrued after foreclosure, penalty, interest, foreclosure and sale costs, and net carrying costs. The municipality must mail the former owner written notice of any excess and how to claim it, and a claim filed more than six months after the sale date is forever barred. The statute as read on 2026-09-27 still carries the 10-year and public-purpose limits; see _verify_notes.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
