Your website, jobs and invoices in Alaska, with your local tax rates

With Locally 360, a small US service business gets a website, quote forms with a lead inbox, booking requests and jobs, and invoicing with card payments. It's $50 a month, month to month, with no minimum term. A build is optional, from $1,500 one time, for up to 20 pages and one revision round.

Alaska has no state sales tax, and Anchorage has no general sales tax. Juneau taxes lawn care, tree trimming and exterminating at 5%. The Kenai Peninsula Borough taxes services where the work is done. The rate on your invoice depends on where the job is.

Sales tax is set where the job is

The State of Alaska levies no sales tax. Several cities and boroughs do, and a borough picks which sales and services to tax. A city and its borough can both tax the same sale. You file with each local government, on its own forms.

A statewide sales tax bill, SB 227, was proposed in 2026. As of November 7, 2026, it sits in the Senate Finance Committee and is not law.

Juneau: 5% on services

Rules from the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) sales tax office:

• Rate: 5% on taxable sales and services.
• Which services: every service, unless city law exempts it.
• Named on the taxable list: lawn and garden care, tree planting and trimming, and exterminating.
• Pressure washing: not named, but every service is taxed unless exempt.
• Registration: register with CBJ before your first Juneau job, wherever you're based.
• Cap: from October 1, 2026, only the first $50,000 of a single service in one month is taxed. The tax on it is $2,500 at most.
• Building permits: qualifying construction under a permit can be exempt. Repair and maintenance stay taxable.
• Jobs partly outside Juneau: the whole job is taxed unless the invoice prices each part by location.
• Filing: since August 31, 2026, a return is on time only if CBJ receives it by the due date. A postmark no longer counts.
• Records: keep invoices and contracts for 3 years.

Ask the CBJ Sales Tax Office how these rules apply to your jobs.

Kenai Peninsula Borough: taxed where the work is done

From the borough's sales tax quick facts and sales tax code:

• Registration: every business registers with the borough.
• Which services: all goods and services, unless the code exempts them.
• Where it is taxed: where the work is done.
• Rates in the borough's May 2024 table: 3% outside city limits, Homer 7.85%, the city of Kenai 6% and Seward 7%.
• Seldovia: 5% from October to March, and 9.5% from April to September.
• Soldotna: 6% in the borough's table. The city's share goes from 3.0% to 3.5% on January 1, 2027. Ask the borough for the new total.
• Cap (borough code 5.18.430): only the first $500 of each sale or service is taxed.
• Repeating bills to an account: at most $500 of each bill is taxed.
• Filing: file every period, even with no sales. New businesses file quarterly. Each missed filing costs $25, and 2 missed in a row cost $100.

Anchorage and other places

• Anchorage: no general sales tax.
• Everywhere else, including Wasilla and Fairbanks: ask that city or borough before you bill.

Local rates on your invoices

CBJ says sales tax "is not a tax on businesses or business owners, but is the People's money collected on behalf of CBJ by merchants". You collect it on your invoices, at the rates you add.

Tax is off on your invoices until you switch on Manual rate. Then you add your own rates, each with a name, a percent and a jurisdiction. A rate can also be set for prices that already include tax.

Each line has a Taxable switch and can use its own rate. One invoice can tax the Juneau part of a job at 5% and put the part outside the borough on a separate line, with its own rate or none.

A rate has no cap or threshold setting. Its percent applies to the whole amount of each taxable line. So you handle the Kenai Peninsula $500 limit or the Juneau cap by hand, for example by putting the amount over the limit on its own line with Taxable switched off.

A maintenance account's invoice can repeat weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Each time, a draft comes to you to check and send. On the Kenai Peninsula, at most $500 of each repeating bill to an account is taxed. Check the tax on each draft before you send it.

An issued invoice can't be changed, only cancelled, so check the rate before you issue it. You number invoices in your own format.

Invoices go out under your business name. The invoice page your customer opens shows your business name, your address and, if you set one, your tax registration number. Your customers can pay by card into your own Stripe account, at Stripe's standard pricing. You can mark an invoice paid when a customer pays by cash or check.

Locally 360 doesn't pick your rates. You add the rates your city or borough sets, and each taxable line uses the rate you choose. Automatic tax isn't available.

Your website and the tools

When you're on a job, your website takes the request. Designs are built for specific trades, and you can use any of them.

• Website: fast on a phone, with hosting, security certificates and updates included. A site you start yourself stays hidden from search engines until you switch that on. On a build, we switch it on when the site goes live.
• Quote forms: each inquiry lands in your lead inbox and your email. Every form filters spam first.
• Jobs: booking requests from your site become jobs on your Jobs board. You confirm or decline each one, put a crew on it and email the crew the details.
• Invoicing: your own tax rates, repeating invoices and card payments into your own Stripe account.
• Customer portal: your customers see their invoices and bookings in one place, no passwords.
• Service area: up to 50 cities, set in your business profile.

What it costs

• Monthly: $50 a month, the same for every owner.
• Build, if you want one: from $1,500, one time, up to 20 pages and one revision round.
• Copy on a build: written with AI assistance, not verified by us. You check every fact in your review week, and it goes live only once you approve.
• How they fit: the build needs the $50. The $50 doesn't need the build.
• Term: month to month, no minimum term, cancel any time.
• Cancelling: your site stays up until the end of your paid period. To get an export, email support@locally360.app within 7 days after that date. It holds your pages, business profile, uploaded media, inquiries, and invoice, payment and booking records.
• Provided by: Locally 360 is provided by Eveneer Solutions LLC.

Alaska's private landscaping businesses employed 743 people in February 2025 and 1,478 in July 2025. The $50 stays the same whatever the size of your crews.

Licenses by trade

Anyone doing business in Alaska needs a state business license before they start work. It comes from the state's Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (CBPL). Pesticide certification comes from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

State business license: $50 a year

• Fee: $50 a year, or $25 for a sole proprietor who is 65 or older or a disabled veteran.
• Exemptions: few, and none covers lawn, tree, pest control or pressure washing work.
• Working without one: the state may fine you up to $300 for knowingly working without a current license.
• Order: an LLC or corporation may first need an Alaska Entity Number from CBPL's Corporations Section. A sole proprietor or partnership skips this step. Next comes any CBPL professional license, such as contractor registration. The business license comes last, and asks for that license number.

Contractor ads and your website

In Alaska, you can't advertise in any way that suggests you're a contractor unless you're a registered contractor. A registered contractor's ads, contracts, cards, signs and other papers must show its name, mailing address and main business address. Ads and contracts must also show its registration number. Since November 8, 2022, an ad can leave these out if it says they're on your website, and the website shows them. State rules also say to advertise under your business name exactly as it appears on your business license.

Every design you can pick has a licenses and certifications section. List each license or registration there, number included. Before an ad points to your site, check that the site shows all four details.

Questions

Before you decide

Here's what you can count on: a site built so Google can find you, every inquiry in your own inbox, and a short report each month with inquiries against last month, page views and your most viewed pages. No website is perfect, and nobody can honestly tell you what one will bring in. It's month to month with no minimum term, so look at all of it and decide what's right for your business.
