Kodiak Island Borough first-half property taxes due Monday, with a 10% penalty after

Kodiak Island Borough property owners with real or personal property tax bills over $50 have until Monday, Aug. 17, to make a first-half payment on their 2026 property taxes. Bills at or below that amount cannot be split into installments. Property owners who miss the deadline must pay or postmark the full year's bill by Oct. 15, the borough said. Delinquent accounts draw a 10% penalty the borough calls non-waivable, plus 1% interest each month.

That penalty starts when the August deadline passes, not in October. The borough's property tax page says the 10% penalty applies to all delinquent taxes and that interest runs from the date of delinquency, and an account goes delinquent as soon as a due date passes without payment. Oct. 15 is the date the full year has to be cleared by, not a grace period before the charges begin.

The Borough Cashier accepts in-person payments from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 710 Mill Bay Road. Property owners can also pay online at www.kodiakak.us under online payments, or by credit card by phone at 907-486-9324, the number the borough also lists for questions.

Mailed payments come with a warning. Envelopes must be postmarked no later than Aug. 17. The borough said postal processing has changed, so taxpayers should ask post office staff to hand cancel the envelope at the counter to get a timely date stamp. Borough guidance says a payment counts as on time only if the cashier's office receives it by the due date or the U.S. Postal Service postmarks it, not a metered machine.

The second half of the 2026 property tax bill is due Nov. 15.
