How to read this county's bill
The bill here climbed steeply over 2020-2024, up 34% from $829 to $1,109. These ACS medians describe the reported change; they do not identify whether a levy, assessment, home value, or change in the responding households caused it.
The largest single group of owner-occupied homes in this county reports no real estate tax at all: 1,469 of 1,605 homes (91.5%). When that group leads, the county median does not describe the most common reported amount.
This county earns in the bottom quarter of the country and taxes above the median rate, so the median bill absorbs 2.0% of median household income. The rate alone understates that; it is the pairing that matters.
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.

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 Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area Schedule A rows
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for Yukon-Koyukuk 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.
