Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
How to read this county's bill
This is one of the counties where the typical bill came down, from $1,531 in 2020 to $1,136 in 2024, a fall of 26%. The source reports the change but does not distinguish among rate, value, or household-composition effects.
The largest single group of owner-occupied homes in this county reports no real estate tax at all: 619 of 665 homes (93.1%). When that group leads, the county median does not describe the most common reported amount.
Household income sits in the second quarter nationally and the effective rate in the lowest, so the median bill takes 1.8% of median household income. Both figures point the same way, which is unusual enough that the ratio above is worth reading rather than assumed.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
The published bill went DOWN here
Between the 2020 and 2024 ACS releases the median annual property tax in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area fell from $1,531 to $1,136, a change of -25.8%. Fewer than three counties in a hundred recorded any decline over this period; nearly everywhere else the published figure rose. A fall can reflect reassessment, a shifting mix of the homes surveyed, or genuine rate relief, and these estimates cannot separate those causes.

Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.

IRS county file: no disclosed Hoonah-Angoon Census Area Schedule A rows
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. That is a limit of the published data rather than a finding about the county: county-level figures are withheld where the counts are too small to disclose safely, which is common in places with few filers. Roughly one county in sixteen is in this position, so the filer view available elsewhere on this site is simply not available here. Source: IRS Statistics of Income county data.
