Payment in Lieu of Taxes

* The Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program provides payments to local governments with federally-owned "entitlement lands" to offset property tax losses. * Eligible municipalities must submit an application form to receive funding, verifying they meet all eligibility requirements. * The application process has been simplified, requiring only a verification form with correct and current information. * Distributions are made starting in July of each fiscal year or within 30 days of receipt of funds from the federal government. * The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Interior and the Division of Community and Regional Affairs in Alaska. * The program will continue to be funded, with the 2025 data collection process initiated and funding continued at the 2024 rate through March 14, 2025.
