Real property tax collection.
(a) The municipality shall enforce delinquent real property tax liens by annual foreclosure, unless otherwise provided by ordinance.
(b) If the tax on property described in AS 29.45.070 or on a taxable interest in tax- exempt property is not paid when due, a municipality may enforce the tax by a personal action against the delinquent taxpayer brought in the district or superior court, in addition to other remedies available to enforce the lien. (§ 12 ch 74 SLA 1985)

The current owner on record is mailed delinquent notices, and all foreclosure properties receive a certified mailing notice within 10 days of Judgement. To get the full amount due, call the Clerk’s office (907) 424-6286. Properties of which Judgment of Foreclosure is entered will be held by the City of Cordova for one year unless redeemed. Property not redeemed within one year may be deeded to the City of Cordova by the Cler of the Court. The one-year period of redemption shall end when the property is deeded to the City of Cordova.  Property listed on the foreclosure list may be redeemed in accordance with Title 29 of the Alaska Statutes by paying all taxes in full along with all penalties and interest due, together with a proportional share of the costs of publication and foreclosure. Refer to the Notice of Foreclosure and the mailings sent to you for specific deadlines. Any payments made will be applied to the oldest incurred expenses.  Also be aware that new finance charges are applied on the last day of each month.  To be removed from the foreclosure list, payment must be made in full and by cash, cashier’s check or money order only; personal checks will not be accepted.
