Anchorage Assembly Meeting - July 21, 2026

This Assembly Information Memorandum (AIM 103-2026) provides an initial report on the audit of fully tax-exempt real property within the Municipality of Anchorage. The report was requested by the Assembly via AR 2026-73, which was adopted on March 24, 2026, to ensure tax-exempt properties remain qualified and to identify potential noncompliance. The Property Appraisal Division, in collaboration with Internal Audit, developed a framework for the audit. The proposed strategy includes focusing on high- and medium-priority exemption files, enhancing the annual certification process, and implementing a risk-based recurring review system for all fully exempt properties. The memorandum outlines the administration's plan for scope, methodology, and resource allocation. The document is signed by Municipal Assessor Jack Gadamus, Internal Auditor Alden Thern, CFO Lance R. Wilber, Municipal Manager William D. Falsey, and Mayor Suzanne LaFrance.
