The City of Unalaska is requesting proposals from qualified Alaskan real estate appraisal firms to act as its contractual Assessor for a five-year term.

The bulk of the assessment work for the approximately 200 business personal property tax accounts in the City is performed by the staff of the City Clerk’s office; the role of the contract assessor with regards to business personal property is mainly limited to consulting, although the contract assessor may be called upon to examine and assess the personal property of businesses selected for audit. Tax records may be viewed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Unalaska City Hall, 43 Raven Way, Unalaska.
