Alaska is indeed unusual.. Not only do they not have a sales or income tax , They have a Permanent Trust Fund that pays every man women and child that has been a resident for 1 year.

(see the 3rd paragraph of the wikipedia article)
I know this for sure because my sister from Fairbanks calls and tells me all about it ! I'm going to have to email her and find out the other local taxes they might have.
In 2005 I think each person got a check for over $1,600.
