Alaska: total loss threshold and rebuilt title rules
What Alaska’s own pages print, word for word. Kind of rule, by our sorting: No damage definition found.
This is a reference to quoted official text, not legal, tax, insurance or professional advice. Rules change; confirm with the agency before acting.
Total Loss Threshold is an independent reference. It is not a government site and is not affiliated with any state agency, legislature or insurance company.
What does Alaska print about a salvage title?
“Starting 08/01/2025 changes to 2 AAC 92.190 the department is now able to issue a "Salvage" title to a vehicle that has a current Junk brand that has not yet been reconstructed.”
“A reconstructed vehicle is a vehicle that has been materially altered from the original constructed vehicle by the removal, addition, or substitution of essential parts.”
“The remarks section will include the text "Incomplete vehicle not for roadway use, must obtain reconstructed title prior to registration".”
The pages we read print no section heading we could quote for this.
We found no damage definition or percentage in the Alaska pages a plain request could read, so the tool computes nothing for Alaska. The quotes below are the Division of Motor Vehicles’ own statements about salvage and reconstructed titles.
The inspection sentences come from the Division’s page on reconstructed or homebuilt vehicles. What its salvage title page prints about a reconstructed title is quoted above.
Read the fee sentence for what it is a fee for: The fee for a Salvage title
.
Nothing to compute. We found no damage definition or percentage on the official pages we could read. States whose sentences can be computed are on the rule types page.
How do you get a rebuilt title in Alaska, in the state’s words?
“The vehicle must be inspected by a law enforcement officer or a representative of the Division of Motor Vehicles which is free at a state DMV office.”
“All bills of sale and invoices for major parts used in the construction should also be surrendered.”
What fee does Alaska print?
“The fee for a Salvage title is $15.”
Read each fee sentence for what it covers: an inspection, a title, or something else.
Which form does Alaska name?
“A completed form 857 Application for Salvage Vehicle Title must be submitted along with proper evidence of ownership to obtain a Salvage Vehicle title.”
