CERTAIN RESIDENCES.  (a)  Payment of taxes on the                              
first $150,000 of the assessed value of real property is

primary residence and permanent place of abode by a

or for a deferral under (1) of this subsection.  The taxes                    
become due when the property ceases to be owned by the                         
resident who qualified for the deferral or the spouse if the                   
spouse also qualified for a deferral.  Only one deferral may                   
be granted for the same property and, if two or more                           
persons are eligible for a deferral for the same property, the                 
parties shall decide between or among themselves who is to                     
receive the benefit of the deferral.  Payment of taxes may                     
not be deferred under this section if the assessor determines,                 
after notice and hearing to the parties, that the property was                 
conveyed to the applicant primarily for the purpose of                         
obtaining the deferral.  The determination of the assessor                     
may be appealed under AS44.62.560 - 44.62.570.                                 
	(b)  To qualify for a deferral for a year, the                               
adjusted gross income of an individual for the prior year                      
may not exceed $24,000 if the individual filed a single                        
return, or $36,000 if the individual files jointly with another.               
The determination of adjusted gross income is based upon                       
the federal income tax return filed by the individual.                         
	(c)  In this section, "real property" includes mobile
