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.
