Statewide Residential Benchmark
A broad statewide benchmark for Alabama is an effective property tax rate of about 0.33% of home value. On a $400,000 residential property, that equals about $1,320 per year. This is a statewide comparison point, not a guarantee of what any parcel will owe.
Basic statewide deadlines
Alabama appeal windows move fast
County assessment and equalization appeal periods are set locally, so start when the assessment notice or county review period opens.
Start by checking your Notice of Valuation and gathering your county property record.
Then confirm the current year’s instructions with your county assessor, local board, municipality, or state tax authority, especially if a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday.
