Tax notices for “new” property owners

This week we mailed 2025 property tax notices to owners who acquired property between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025.

Because Alabama assesses property taxes as of October 1 each year but mails the bills one year later, the original notices sent in October went to the owner of record on October 1, 2024.

If you purchased property or made ANY ownership changes (e.g., adding a spouse, life estate, remainder interest, etc.) after October 1, 2024 through today, December 5, please watch your mailbox starting Monday, December 8, for your 2025 tax notice.
