Property-tax appeals in Alabama
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Alabama.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | 30 days after receiving written notice of valuation, by written protest filed with the county Board of Equalization (Code of Alabama 1975, Sections 40-3-20, 40-3-24 and 40-3-25, per the Alabama Department of Revenue) |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Board of Equalization (BOE); further appeal to Circuit Court |
The Alabama Department of Revenue states property owners are given 30 days to file an appeal after receiving written notice of valuation. Madison County's assessor page adds that an appeal may be taken to Circuit Court within 30 days from the adjournment of the Board of Equalization, and that preserving that appeal requires taxes to be paid by December 31 or a bond filed in Circuit Court. There is no single statewide calendar date - each county's window runs from its own notice/publication dates, so the notice controls. No filing fee was stated in the sources checked.
What wins in Alabama
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
