Pick a vehicleHow leasing works

An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Juneau, AK; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.

Questions.

How much is sales tax on a car in Juneau?

No state sales tax, but about 5% in local sales tax for Juneau City and Borough. Alaska has no state sales tax; any local tax is set by the municipality, based on where the dealership is.

Does my trade-in lower the tax in Juneau?

No state tax, so no state trade-in credit; municipal ordinances govern any local tax base.

How is a car from an out-of-state dealership taxed if I live in Juneau?

A car the selling dealership ships out of its own state usually carries no sales tax in that state; you pay Alaska tax when you register it in Alaska. Picking the car up in another state can mean paying that state's tax at the dealership first, and whether Alaska credits it depends on the two states. Whether a dealership ships to Juneau is up to the dealership, and it sets its own shipping charge, shown on the car before you sign.

What is the doc fee in Juneau?

Alaska sets no cap on it. Each dealership sets its own documentary fee (not a government fee), and each car shows its dealership's fee.
