Alabama tax sales: how they work
- Sale type
- State-held tax delinquent land
- Bidding format
- By application to the Alabama Department of Revenue, which publishes a transcript of available land per county.
- What survives the sale
- The Department states that neither an assignment nor a tax deed gives the holder clear title to the parcel, and recommends consulting an attorney before purchasing. The transcript itself notes it does not contain the physical address of the property.
- Statute
- Alabama Department of Revenue
An assignment of the state's tax sale certificate if the state has held it less than three years, and a tax deed if it has held it more than three years. Not yet confirmed from a primary source: redemption period; who may redeem.
