Alabama property tax deadlines

8 sourced dates. 67 of 67 Alabama counties have at least one.

Alabama sets its dates in state law (Title 40 of the Code of Alabama). Taxes are figured as of October 1 and paid in arrears: bills are due October 1, and anything unpaid after December 31 picks up penalty and interest. To fight your value, you have 30 days from the valuation notice to protest to the county Board of Equalization. Some counties mail that notice and others run it in the newspaper, so watch for both.
