About Property Taxes in Alabama
Alabama has one of the lowest property tax burdens in the United States, with an average effective rate well under 0.5% of market value. Property taxes are administered at the county level, with each county having a tax assessor and tax collector. Residential property is assessed at 10% of fair market value, agricultural land at 10%, and commercial at 20%. Tax bills are typically mailed in the fall, with taxes due October 1 and becoming delinquent after December 31. Alabama's low rates are largely the result of a constitutional amendment from 1978 that strictly limits millage rates.
Payment & Assessment
Alabama property taxes are due October 1 and must be paid by December 31 to avoid penalty. After January 1, a 1% monthly penalty applies on the unpaid balance. Most counties offer online payment, in-person payment at the county tax collector's office, and payment by mail. If your mortgage lender escrows your taxes, confirm that payment has been made before the December 31 deadline. Taxes unpaid after April 1 may be sold as tax liens at the county's annual tax sale. The property owner retains the right to redeem the lien by paying all taxes, penalties, and interest within three years.

About Bibb County
Bibb County is a county in the central portion of the U.S. state of Alabama. The county is a part of the Birmingham, AL Metropolitan Statistical Area, and is included in the ARC's definition of Appalachia. As of the 24th decennial 2020 census, its population was 22,293. The county seat is Centreville. The county is named in honor of William W. Bibb (1781–1820), the Governor of Alabama Territory (1817–1819) and the first Governor of Alabama. He is also the namesake for Bibb County, Georgia, where he began his political career. It is a "prohibition" or dry county; however, a few towns have become "wet" by allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages: Woodstock, West Blocton, Centreville, and Brent. The Bibb County Courthouse is located in the county seat of Centreville.
