AGDC tells House Finance that Alaska property tax is 10 times higher than competing LNG projects
Alaska Gasline Development Corporation testified to the House Finance Committee that Alaska's property tax structure would impose costs roughly 10 times higher than competing LNG projects, with potential annual taxes exceeding $800 million compared to $50 million at the next-highest jurisdiction.
